Anecdotally, I know this process got rid of at least 1 engineer in the past few months. No egregious mistakes, just general underperformance.

It gets rid of plenty of performing/overperforming engineers too because it is exhausting.
Yep.
I saved my team a couple of times over but pissed off a manager in the process. My performance review had multiple contradictions praising me and admonishing me for the same things (being a good mentor but not spending any time onboarding new team members, etc). I left rather than deal with the gaslighting that was all but certain to ramp up.
