marcicat*I officially have no idea what's going on at work, but that's common. It was just less obvious when I didn't have to physically be present at the office two days a week.
*Yesterday I overheard someone on a different team saying that the company's ever-shifting priorities was messing up their annual goals. I managed NOT to reference that 'wait you guys have [x]' meme, mostly because I was not part of the conversation, and unfortunately not at all because I have a sense of self-preservation when it comes to saying things out loud.
*I do not have any workplace-assigned goals. These were supposed to be communicated sometime in February, I think, which was right around the time we were finding out that my boss' boss wasn't planning to come back.
*Then I figured we could just make some up at the first check-in, which was, uh, now. But now my boss is also out, and I'm 100% sure no one's going to check in with us.
*So, yeah. That's a thing. On the plus side, it sounds like other teams tried to set goals, and now they're going to have to re-do them anyway. So just waiting until the end of the year and figuring retroactively deciding them is maybe more efficient?
