... where your outcomes are determined by currying political favor, gamesmanship, and your boss's shifty whims. Yeah, that's not a recipe for relaxing if you ask me. I'd also like my kids to view me as someone of integrity and not some sycophantic corporate douche.

- a5seo 16y agoMost companies operate on the same ridiculous performance review process that puts the judgement of your value to the organization into the hands of one person, your boss. OR they try to use objective goals that are obsolete as soon as the ink dries, so you spend your time either hitting irrelevant goals or managing up so you can work on the right things. It sucks. It's toxic. It makes you a less-whole person and that makes you less-good as a parent.
