At the last company I worked at, stack ranking referred to simply ordering everyone else on your team by the impact of their contributions. A lot of people found it to be uncomfortable, even though there was apparently no percentage-based cutoff that qualified you as a bad employee. AFAIK, it only really came into play when people were frequently ranked above or below people at other job levels e.g., a SWE V under a SWE IV, or whatever.

There is no truth. There is only narrative.

Apply this to every aspect of your life and prosper. Occasionally stare up into the night sky and be consumed by existential dread.

my 0.02 is that all of the ex-alphabet folks i work with are significantly happier to not be working there any more.

can ya'll say more about this. everyone i have seen leave were either in a bad situation where they were failing to perform or failing to make career progress, or have been here long enough to be financially independent and can gently caress off to do another flying car startup or w/e. i don't really see how i can leave without taking a 50%+ paycut or going somewhere with an obviously shittier work environment.

e: idk what i'm really asking here it just seems like it's impossible to leave this company while i'm performing well
