I agree, I guess that I would do my best to get the easiest tasks so my performance would be up, and the hardest tasks would either never get done or in a really dirty way.
But how do you implement a global stack ranking in such a diverse company like Microsoft? There is no good criteria for comparing the kernel developers to the frontend programmers, for example. I doubt you could even find 100 employees working on the same kind of task.
- yuhong 13y agoI think michaelochurch has talked about "concave" vs "convex" work a lot.
- dusklight 13y agoCan you explain in greater detail please? Are you using the terms "concave" and "convex" in the same way that NNT does in his recent book Antifragile?

- RougeFemme 13y agoAn earlier poster, who works at Microsoft, said that the ranking is done in large groups. So I imagine it would be grouped something like developers reporting to a particular PC. . .so it wouldn't be as granular as you describe. . .and the criteria wouldn't be granular either. . .Or I guess the criteria/objectives could be fairly high-level, but any benchmarks used could be more granular and specific.
