Hey guys, this ranking system is nothing new and something not invented here. One of its earliest origins can be traced to a company named GE. Perhaps you have heard of them, when they used to be an iconic American company back in the day. They implemented a "rank & yank" method of employee performance review, which basically meant that every year approximately 10% of the employee base would be force ranked to the bottom and those employees would become Gawn Pecawns.
Well, one can only imagine the chaos a whacka-doodle system like that can do to a high performance organization...…. an employee theoretically could be a superstar one day and bottom feeder the next. As a result, they lost a lot of great talent. Fast forward to today, they are a mere shell of their glorious past and considered one of the worst performing companies. Not because they didn't have really great assets with really wide moats, but because they kept losing great talent and even more importantly had a harder time attracting new talent. Let's be very honest, who in their right mid would knowingly want to go work for a company where you are the hero one day and goat the next!
Well anyhooo, let's hope history does not repeat itself and GLTA.
