At Google I was explicitly told not to use $ value in my perf review/promo form by multiple managers. There and at other companies i worked for i found that management cares more about revenue (more engagement, new features, releases, etc) than costs (code quality, performance, etc).
- ehnto 9y agoInteresting! I have had the opposite experience at smaller companies. A cynical view might be that in larger companies, the goal setting only materializes as dollar values higher up the chain so that they can benefit from that negotiation leverage. A less cynical view is that business-speak and goal setting naturally abstracts away from money as you try to manage larger goals down a chain of people.
