And in your imagination of stack ranking, every employee gets a rank number from 1 to 10,000? That would be neat, but probably bad for a variety of other reasons. Like, why is all of sales getting fired? Well, they unfortunately all ranked poorly... It's more like, a manager has 7 employees and he has to stack rank them 1 to 7 and manage #7 out and rehire a replacement. Was #7 a bad employee? Why would any system of management assume that they are? Such as system assumes that the sea is full of employees of rank #1 to #6 and that the difference between 6 and 7 was so great as to warrant the costs associated with termination, hiring, training, on-boarding, and ramping up a new #7. Will they be better enough to warrant doing it all again?
