I've been asked to approve a list of 2005 objectives, of which, at the time, one objective was unattainable in general, one was unattainable as stated, and two are not things I can control.
These objectives are what I'll get evaluated against when I get the year's bonuses.
I'm
tempted
to not approve the list, because in my line of work that sort of specificity in goals is pointless, and completely fails to recognise my actual job goals
and
how they align with corporate directives.
On the other hand, I should be able to get 50%, and, well, free money.
I feel an attack of Corporate Whore coming on.
Can you approve with comments, ita?
Nope. It's completely set in stone. All or nothing. I tried to discuss it with my boss, who let the talk go on way too long considering I CAN DO NOTHING.
What happens in you pick the nothing option and put exactly why in writing?

I don't get any bonus next year.
And,
I suspect, I get looked at funny by upper management I need to not alienate.
AND I dropped chocolate on my (admittedly dark) pants and tried to brush it off with a warm hand.

Whatever you say, Nessman.
All I want is a freakin' door to keep them away from me but so far I've been denied. Something about a door on a cubicle being silly.
Doors are for closers, Dawn.

BWAHH! I never even thought about masking tape. I'm sorely tempted. Although I doubt it will do any good but a door probably wouldn't either.
Go whore, choose whore.
I'd always hoped to sell out more dramatically.
Ah, well.
One more childhood dream evaporates in the light of greed.
