Microsoft Ditches Its Employee Ranking System For Something Less Internally Destructive
This morning an internal memo inside of Microsoft detailed a new employee ranking system that will replace former policy. Microsoft's former method for judging performance was widely considered backwards, poisonous, and generally a bad apple.Tom Warren of The Verge published the memo this morning, and TechCrunch independently confirmed its veracity. A Microsoft spokesperson released the following statement to us: "These changes will encourage greater speed, creativity and teamwork to help us bring innovation to market faster and better serve our customers."
The former system used a method of rating employees that encouraged strong employees to surround themselves with weaker workers to ensure that they would stay at the top of their cohort, with the requisite performance incentives and job security. That's hardly a system that is conducive to strong teams and big new products.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/-qs-dMGgfMA/
