When UNITE reps in the IT Services industry were creating our Charter for Fair Pay, one of the issues identified was "forced ranking" - the practice of some companies and managers of pre-determining the proportions of people to receive each score in a performance appraisal system.
There is a mass of evidence about how unfair, discriminatory and counter-productive forced ranking systems are. There's an interesting article by a management consultant here blaming a variant of this system for Microsoft's poor culture and declining financial performance. Useful ammunition for union members seeking to oppose the introduction of forced ranking or throw it out where it's already used.
