I wouldn't go that far, but I agree stack ranking is a really bad idea. Uber seems to be full of bad ideas, so maybe it's a good fit.

- mfoy_ 9y agoMaybe Uber is like an organizational Gaspode[1], in which so many bad ideas are all running amok at once that it all keeps working, somehow.

- Triesault 9y agoThe article states Uber stopped using a stacked ranking system. > Microsoft Corp. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. have faced similar legal challenges; both firms and, more recently, Uber, have abandoned the practice.
- alexasmyths 9y ago"Uber seems to be full of bad ideas," I don't know. They've basically changed the world, made a 60 billion dollar company quickly, and become a brand synonymous with a service. That's very special. Just as I think they probably have used some slightly underhanded things on their way there, I significantly doubt anything they're doing is considerably more sketchy than other companies. As the article states: 1/3 of F100 companies use stack ranking - so how can we possibly call them out for it. Moreover, that someone 'says they are sexist' does not make them sexist.
