That's a risk when you work for a company that uses a "stack ranking" performance review system.
It's known as "rank and yank" because managers are supposed to get rid of their lowest-ranked performers every year, even if those performers have done well, just not quite as well as some of their colleagues.
The New York Times reported this weekend that Amazon uses just such a system, one of many management practices the Times described to paint a portrait of a "bruising" workplace at the company.
Specifically, the Times said that Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) "manages out a pre-determined percentage of its workforce every year."
