Serious question: what does “stack rank” mean?
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitality_curve
It's become really popular in large tech companies and it's fucking stupid.
Thank you. I’ve never even heard of the term before, and didn’t know if it was slang, a typo, or what. It wouldn’t have occurred to me to search for it.
Yet another word for the good ol' rank-and-yank. Great way to instantly make number go up by suddenly laying off 10-20% of your employees. The trick is making sure you've moved on to another department or another company before the predictable consequences take hold.
I read that as "vitality cure" and didn't think twice about it, seemed the appropriate level of evil.
