- jpatokal 11y agoYes, this blog post is from 2013.

- melted 11y agoFrom what I heard, there really IS no stack rank or numeric ratings this time. Managers do get discretion wrt pay and equity, but not much of it. The only score you can give to someone consists of a checkbox that basically says "this person sucks and we need to let him/her go". TBH, I have to say I like this system. Google, for instance, has both the curve and the stack rank, as well as promotion by committee who have no first hand knowledge of your work.
