TL;DR: He believes everyone performs on a single measurable dimension and teamwork is irrelevant. He thinks that forcing a ranking is the only way to get honest feedback from a manager, and believes that a contributor's manager is the one person suited to judge that contributor.
That's not actually a TL;DR, that's all he said in his "passionate" defense.
- dpark 13y ago> That's not actually a TL;DR Agreed. It's stuff you made up. He didn't say everyone performs on a single measurable dimension, nor that teamwork is irrelevant (nor does stack ranking imply either of these). He also didn't say that forced ranking is the only way to get honest feedback. He said it's the only way he knows of, which is a considerably different statement. To be clear, I'm not defending stack ranking here. Muddying the facts with blatant mischaracterizations does not help the discussion, though.
