Rank & Yank

Updated

In recession every company does so don't think it counts

@udfre. Not true. Do you know how difficult it is change a policy like that at a large company. You can’t just implement something like this because the economy changes.

No. Companies do some sort of stack rank when it comes to raises and bonuses. It does not mean someone at bottom will be fired. You can cut the pie in equal pieces if you want unless you really want the one dude at bottom to get no pie

How?

we have stack ranking at Etsy. Not sure about the rest.

More interested in companies taking it to extreme jack welch approach and firing the bottom x%. That’s why I didn’t include Microsoft the list.

Microsoft still stack ranks but no longer pulls a Neutron Jack walking out the bottom 5%.

Nope
