I can't imagine working in an environment like this. If the core idea is that all employees fall on a bell curve in their overall value, what about small sample sizes? In what dimension do you measure them--what is "performance" even? And to do this every six months? Is there something I'm not seeing here? How is this still considered a viable management strategy?
