The unwritten message is clear: "Your success requires others to fail." This transforms collaborators into competitors, where knowledge becomes currency to hoard rather than share.

Remember when Microsoft abandoned stack ranking after losing HALF its market cap because employees focused on competing internally instead of innovating? That was 2014.

So why is it back in 2025? 🤔

My research shows this harms:

Working-class employees
People from collectivist cultures
Women (especially those expected to be "team players")

As an I/O psychologist studying workplace unwritten rules, I've seen how this system fundamentally reshapes culture:

Companies force-rank employees on a bell curve
They eliminate "bottom" performers regardless of actual contribution
They pretend this is objective when it's anything but
