No - underperformance is relative to a benchmark, be it based on a median plus a set percentage or a set percentile. Only one person can take the top spot in a rank stack, which makes it a poor model for performance measurement. Overperformance is nice, but not sustainable for the majority of employees.

Meaning, a median among different teams in a company could classify a top performer in a team as an underperformer in a company. I like that too, and how the whole performace metrics suck A.
