 Forced Ranking: Making Performance Management Work $35.00 In his previous book, Discipline Without Punishment, the author's main premise was that employee punishment should be avoided at all cost because it "produces side effects and long-term consequences - anger, apathy, resentment, frustration - that end up being far more costly than whatever the original misbehavior might have been". However, in his new book entitled, Forced Ranking, the author turns right around and then tells the reader that a Forced Ranking System is really not a form of the same type of employee punishment and does not create the same long-term consequences. This is illogical and many real world examples and facts work to contradict the author's message. Wherever a forced ranking system has been inculcated, the majority of people come to resent it. Good employees resent being forced into the bottom 10% category yielding them no pay raise and putting them on an embarrassing probationary period even when they have been meeting the company's performance standards and good managers resent being forced to "reward" good employees this way. Turnover of good employees costs companies millions of dollars every year as well. The cost of hiring new employees is a minimum of 2x the salary of the position, good employees that are let go merely transition to the competition and high turnover never allows the company to establish an experienced world class workforce which takes on average 15 years to develop. From every angle this is a bad system to indoctrinate into any organization but then again any merit system that begins with the word "Forced" ought to raise a few red flags.  G.I.
