This is not a good analogy as professional sports is much easier to assess performance and also much much more ruthless in terms of being cut.

- nine_zeros 3y agoYes, it is not perfect analogy but it describes what team dynamics mean. Which is to say that team members work "together" to achieve goals. They are not competing against each other - as evaluated by performance review processes.
- cloche 3y agoIt's also not a good analogy because it compares across positions. Someone in marketing would not be compared against an engineer.
- mango7283 3y agoNo this is on point. Managers often have multiple people on different roles but are still forced to stack rank them as if they are equally comparable. The analogy is sound and illustrates the problem.
- nine_zeros 3y agoMarketing is a different job function, on a different team - in both engineering and in soccer. You are thinking members of the same team (soccer/engineering) vs members of different teams (marketing)
- mango7283 3y agoAlso, you do realise that then on the same team the engineers may not be doing 1-1 comparable work right?
