Every year and in every company I have worked at, they make us fill in annual goals. Instead of it coming from the CEO onwards and broken down by group and level, they make employees come up with their goals which the manager criticizes and changes anyway.
Then a year later, things have changed so much that I find that I have worked on none of the projects mentioned, a whole bunch of new projects that are not on the goal sheet. Then they make us evaluate ourselves. Why? I have no clue. Then the manager evaluates me evaluating myself. Again, seems meaningless other than to show employees the middle finger.
In many companies, no one takes this process seriously and just goes through the motions to keep HR happy.
Is the Corporate Annual Goals for Employees an outdated concept that should be killed?
