Oh wow! This actually likely explains why Microsoft was not doing well during the early 2000's. Their employees weren't trying to be creative or innovative, they were just trying to keep their jobs.

Interesting topic, but the article's writing style is god-awful and a bit hard to get through.

I had a prof in college that graded like this (in an intro level geology class lol) and it made the atmosphere brutal. I don’t remember the exactly distribution but top x% got As bottom x% got Fs.

Waterfall grading curves are the dumbest of ideas, especially for an entry level course.

That works for some reason, thank you. Not sure linking was the issue, just that the website does a redirect after a while for whatever reason.
