    The stupid idea stems from the fact that if you keep removing bottom 10% then overall year on year your quality or level of employees will keep increasing. Also this ranking creates an intense hunger games which makes people work like crazy and deliver 2x of what they would normally. Its basically fight to live.
    This is extremely beneficial for Amazon to grow but at the cost of burning through and killing its employees except Sr management who are in their AC glass tower watching the labourers burn to exhuastion.
    FYI this is the truest example of capitalism. Have you seen workers in Foxconn working 11 hours a day in China? Its same except you work as a code monkey.
    Either ways the strategy has seemed to work for Amazon because it threatens to enter markets of every other established players.

    Simply put thay want any incoming candidate in amazon to be better than 50% of current employee and in that process there will be employees that will "relatively" remain at the bottom of the barrel even if they are doing really good just not "relatively".
    In single sentence,
    Basically its a "sliding window of top talent" πŸ˜‚ that they dynamically adjust based on incoming candidates and vacancies.

  • Amazon is obsessed with the idea of market mechanisms. Basically let people fight it out to create a self optimizing system.

    PS: It does not work and execs are too busy patting their own backs to realize what a hole they are digging for themselves.
