Reply to comment by AnimusFlux in Microsoft to cut 10k jobs, about 5% of workforce, and take $1.2B restructuring charge by iingot
Stack ranking had disastrous long term effects because different divisions had different metrics. Before MS got rid of it there was an incentive for backstabbing politics and employees making sure they were in divisions with under-performers to shield themselves.
It's kryptonite to team based development.

Reply to Google staff asked to share desk space in latest cost purge From free message therapy and on-site gyms to alternating desk days with fellow Googlers by science-raven
They're forcing people to come back into the office AND doing hot desking, which means they aren't getting any of the supposed benefits of going back to the office.
The primary argument for going back to the office is the in-person collaboration. But if half of your team is Monday / Wednesday swapping desks with the other half on Tuesdays / Thursdays you just have inferior remote work.
