    As far as I'm concerned, curve grading single 
    courses is just as bad as stack ranking at work.
In my years of schooling, I never saw curve grading resemble "stack ranking" whatsoever.

In stack ranking you have to designate some team members as superior and some as bad. You could have a team of ineffective idiots and be forced to label some of them as high achievers, or a team of superstars and be forced to label some of them as bad. I agree that this is manifestly ridiculous.

I've never seen curve grading like that.
