I worked at a company in the 90's that did stack ranking. But the team I was on was 10 people. Each with 10 different roles and skill sets. My boss was European and told his boss and HR to pound sand.
tldr: First, it destroys intrinsic motivation. The requirement that the grading be done on a curve then produces losers where there are none. The employees game the system and this in turn destroys cooperation.
