I had to do a self-assessment for H&M. One of the questions was, "What are your career goals?"
"There's plenty of opportunity for you to grow with Hop-In."
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

My boss also asks me for a personal goal. Last year it was get a cat
how about "not kill anyone in my office."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In my head the Scola links that follow Teppy's work posts have sound effects, like heavy coins clinking through a vending machine.

Self evaluations always make me think of the Sylvia cartoon with the woman doing her new year's resolutions at her desk at work.
Her initial resolution is "I resolve to be more tolerant and pleasant with others". This is crossed out and replaced with "I resolve to be more tolerant when dealing with the incompetent people who surround me". This is then crossed out and replaced with "I will not slap anyone first thing in the morning."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think the most annoying thing about self evaluations is that the information is NEVER USED for anything.
Our objectives here (which we have to come up with ourselves & then have approved by our line manager) are used to determine a percentage of our bonus every year. So I always make sure that mine include some kind of "pending these twelve other departments I have to coordinate with having their shit together" disclaimer in case I can't complete mine due to incompetence somewher else.

I'm confused. How does my boss manage to be in Ohio and Michigan, FUCKING THINGS UP, at the same time???

Are these jobs my boss could take to get the hell out of here? Because that would be super!

I had those taken out of mine, despite one of the goals drafted by a boss being made completely impossible to attain in just the time taken by the goal review cycle. I was told to like it or lump it, that participation in the bonus structure was voluntary, and I shouldn't complain.
