Comment on Goals Gone Wild: Systematic Side Effects of Over-Prescribing Goal Setting (2009)

Comments

I work as a contractor for a company where employees must set a couple of goals yearly and meet them. Set them too low, you're considered lazy, fail to meet one and you're considered unreliable.

There's also a mandatory quota of trainings, which employees must elaborate and then train their colleagues, and "charitable work" they must participate.

I don't want to be hired.

"Set them too low, you're considered lazy, fail to meet one and you're considered unreliable."

Ah, yes. "You must be able to handle ambiguity, because we can't."
