I seem to recall that CO put a similar program into place when Bethune picked up the reins. At the time I believe the budget needed cutting, ergo the staff needed cutting. People were evaluated on a scale of 1-4 where 4 was the worst. The 4’s were told they were the pits and if no improvement was shown they would be saying the big goodbye. As I mentioned, the memory is a bit rusty but perhaps this is a precursor to DL determining which staff to cut.
