The Boss Wants Your Goals
And he will have a fancy name for them, like "Aspirational Benchmarks." And he will meet with you again later in the year to see how you're doing. And you will say, "I think I've hit all my goals." And he will say, "You're doing better in areas A and B, but you need improvement in area C." And you will fantasize about weighing him down with bricks and tossing him in a river. You might even draw a cartoon of that fantasy. Try not to post that cartoon on your cube wall.

I almost lost my job because I think those goal-setting one-to-ones are utter bullshit. Apparently, my boss does not.

That's my goal C.
