They tend to behave exactly the same though. If you rank only good performers, it's a small step before you use that against bad performers: "you've been with us 5 years and never managed to get on the top performers list. I am afraid you are not a good fit for our culture here"

It's very easy to see how people might make this logical jump, but honestly if your bosses manage you out for never being a top performer they are doing you a favor: you don't have to work for their dumb asses anymore.

Good managers recognize the value of role players. Not everyone can be a top performer. It's an absurd expectation to have for any organization.
