100% agree - the expectation setting about promos and big bonuses only coming to those who exceed expectations is frankly fine, but it's obvious that the intent of the letter-grade analogy is to imply an expectation (and evoke the associated anxiety) that there's going to be a paternalistic, we're-disappointed-and-you-should-be-too discussion for a 'C'.
