I met with my leader this week about my goals this year. I presented to them what I felt was a skill I needed to grow in that directly affects my work and meeting business goals. It was also something mentioned in my review as something to focus on this year. My leader didn’t agree that the goal made sense and that it was ambitious enough, even though I had a clear case as to why it was.
What this tells me is that they are actively positioning to set people up for failure or lower comp again next year. Never ever in my career have I had a leader tell me they disagreed with a goal of mine. Especially one that is directly tied to work. It’s not like I made a goal to take extra lunches or see how many pencils I can sharpen in a day.

I might be the only one with normal manager but my goals were normal. Nothing out of the ordinary.
@cj exactly as they intend!! Track and document everything and have copilot help
Match your work to their statements
Our goals were rolled down to us from senior leadership. They are not measurable, vague, and for several it is unclear how they are applicable to our job.
The goals my management approved are TRASH! Total joke.
