I mean, I wouldn't work any place that required me to stack rank my team. Some jackoff above me would eventually come in and play corporate "hero" and go Jack Welch. I get rid of people who are holding my team back, if everyone is doing a good job, firing people will hurt my team, not help it.

We do software development. I've roughly 20 developers on my team. They're all awesome, and hard to replace. I let two people go over the last year, one just didn't have the skills and wasn't pulling his weight, the other was an abusive asshole who was negatively impacting team morale. We get rid of people on the merits of their behavior, not some arbitrary ranking.
