Companies large enough to stack rank are more like leagues. It’s trivial to identify with reasonable confidence who the bottom players are in a league.

- torstenvl 4y agoYes. But the bottom 5% of players in a league is not equal to the combined set of the bottom 5% of players from each team.
- edmundsauto 4y agoRight, so is the conclusion that effective stank ranking requires sufficiently large org sizes to be effective? I don’t think I would support stack ranking even then - org context matters too much. The question, I think, is if I replaced these bottom 5% with average performers that I could hire, what is the delta in outcome? Some positions are setup and only able to produce bottom end performances (think baseball pitchers in Colorado, where offense was originally inflated by 20+% due to elevation affecting how the ball flies) Having the stats of an average pitcher, when throwing half your games in COL, puts a guy in the top 10% of the league. Put a good pitcher in a bad spot and you’ll see someone perform “poorly”.
