My boss is asking me to give her some "personal growth goals".

And even after 10 colleges had explained the concept to me 10 times each, I still don't get it. I am afraid my autism will get me fired soon...

@LukeAlmighty It's all fancy shamncy corporate manager bullshit, probably read it in a cancerous management website

Are the goals work related or something? These are kind of made to be a bitch to make up. Just lie through your teeth to get out of this shit as much as possible, or at least, maybe they are to us. To workaholics manager types they're like candies

Make up bullshit, something like "Be more organized", offer an example of sometime you weren't organized best and say you're trying to fix it

@coolboymew
I will try, but contrary to the racism bait, I just still cannot umderstand this billshit. How am I supposet to think of a measurable "goal"?

I know it is corporate bullshit. It just fits straight through my autism.

@LukeAlmighty they don't have to be measurable, as long as you provide an example, even if it's complete bullshit, which means you could probably later also bullshit a similar example of success. Take my example of being more organized and attempt to make up 9 more somewhat like these

that is, if it actually applies to what you're saying, needs more details
@LukeAlmighty I need details. Because obviously such nebulous concept cannot have real tangible measurement, my example is probably most likely it. Then again, I don't know if it's actually your case and if explained as is

Example:
Programming
Write clearer code commentary
During x project, file, whatever, the commentary I wrote wasn't enough for me/other person/etc
...
I actually wrote better commentary and didn't get confused the next time I read it

Something like that maybe? It doesn't even have to be completely true, it just has to be believable
