You don't know many people who worked for Microsoft? They would let go the bottom 10% of their staff every year.

"Best to Worst Ranking" is the most toxic and destructive environments.

Manu Cornet famous organization chart is the best example of this. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/%22Org_c...

I was under the impression that those rankings were created through a series of let's-sort-everyone meetings rather a pedantic application of metrics.

Yes they are, you are right. My company does them too, somewhat.

If you have to let go 20% of your staff, how do you do it? You have to rank people...
