@bx, Wrong—reviews happen everywhere -- not ranking. The abuse happens when they're subjective, undocumented, and warped by non-performance BS (RTO compliance, location bias, age/tenure favoritism, etc.) with zero real KPIs or scorecards. At WF, forced distributions + zero transparency turn it into a layoff prep tool, not growth. Not every org is this lazy about it. Microsoft ditched strict stack ranking back in 2013 after it ki-led innovation and turned teams into backstabbing contests—switched to actual feedback via 'Connects.' Adobe, Accenture, Deloitte, and others swapped annual rankings for ongoing coaching/check-ins, saw lower turnover and people actually engaging. Meanwhile, WF's big 'agile transformation' was supposed to bring exactly that kind of modern, collaborative mindset... yeah, how's that working out? Still hiring coaches with no real support, still 'Wagile' half-measures, still eating our own. Upskilling and networking remain the only reliable escape hatch
