I don't think that grades are useful for creating a good environment. There research that it reduces people's intrinsic motivation.
Not every workplace has the same culture. Encouraging weak team members to improve is very useful for a business. I would be very surprised if it would be looked down upon at a place like Google to look like you are working on improving your abilities.
When it comes to dating a women with very low self confidence might indeed punish any admission of weakness. On the other hand a women with decent self esteem usually value vulnerability which requires admitting weaknesses.
Some cultures value bragging, others don't.
LW has karma.
It would be useful to look into the research that whether it is about formal grading vs. informally judging each other or grading vs. a non-judgemental, non-competitive environment. My hunch is they studied the second and I am talking about the first, namely that informal judgements, tests, status competitions are the worst because you can never really be sure about your status so you must put extra effort in competing just ensure it.
