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

@coolboymew
We have to set these goals because our pay bonuses depend on them. (could not get more stupid right?) And all I know is, that they're supposed to ve measurable.

I would be happy to give you more details, but there is the problem. As I said, it completelly firs my bullshit filter.

But thanks for the advice anyway. I love my job, but sometimes, I still find a millenial and their delusional fantasies of collective dream company that sells rainbows.

@coolboymew
And for the details, I am a tester, but my boss told me, that there can be some weird goals like "be more active on meetings" or "improve communication "...

@LukeAlmighty @coolboymew Do they know you have autism? If you do, at least. Telling an autistic guy to "be more active during meetings" seems like it's dipping into ADA territory.

Not sure if they know, and I was wandering if I should come out.

But I have seen how the normies see autistic people. No, thank you. I'll rather be just an extremely introverted weirdo.

@LukeAlmighty @coolboymew I hear that. Expecting any sort of accommodation is how you get fired for showing up 15 seconds late. I'd just keep doing what you're doing and keep the exit in your periphery.
