With stack ranking, team members compete, not cooperate. They will make other members look bad, with trash talk, not responding to slack and email, ans actual code sabotage. Some team members act like the chariot race in Ben Hur.

Remember that EVERY PLAYER in the winning Super Bowl gets a ring. At the Olympics, EVERY team member gets a metal (Ice Hockey, Basketball, Soccer).

Some managers will hire someone incompetent just so they can stack rank fire them.
