Many Microsoft employees expressed their happiness about the e-mail they got from Lisa Brummel, head of HR at Microsoft today.

The mail states that Microsoft is ending the highly criticized stack ranking system among employees.

Lisa mentioned in her mail that “no more curve,” , and there “will no longer be a pre-determined targeted distribution.” In the management system known as “stack ranking”,_every_team must rate a certain percentage of employees as top performers, good performers, average and poor.

There is no information on the upcoming review system at Microsoft.
