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
It is a requirement.

@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

@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.

@mrsaturday @coolboymew
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.

@coolboymew @LukeAlmighty The managers gotta justify their existence somehow, because if they're not micromanaging all the time, people will realise they're not needed at all.

@moth_ball @coolboymew
Yeah... I heard the legends of HR lady who asks what's your favorite color and why...

Good thing I don't have shit that bad yet...

@LukeAlmighty @coolboymew Makes me feel blessed to be in the healthcare field where everyone is too busy with actual work to bother with stupid shit like that.

Remember, you don't owe them your honesty or loyalty, so just say whatever to appear as a good employee.

@moth_ball @coolboymew
Thank you.

I realized that after the 10th time they mentioned diversity. (Don't worry, it still is a good job with unbelievable pay and name good enough to open doors even If I were to quit in a few years)

@moth_ball @coolboymew
Just immagine, there is a women, who spends all of her time doing nothing else then talking about diversity and the fact that she has an imposter syndrome from being a woman.

Why would she feel like she doesn't belong? Could it be the fact that talking to her is a suicide atempt?

Nah... It's because there aren't enough women. obviously...

@LukeAlmighty @moth_ball yeah, the examples he gave are more or less around what I expected. It's complete bullshit, but you're gonna have to do it regardless. Since it's bullshit, just make up believable bullshit. Fight bullshit with bullshit

This is just manager bullshit so he can tell his boss "ayy boss, I'm managing!" despite this shit being EXTREMELY disruptive to the wrong person. A true manager would actually take different approach to different employee, as some of the tricks WILL work on the right person but goes terrible wrong on the wrong person. But yeah, welcome to the cogification of people in the workforce. You're just yet another cog

Which kinda pisses me off, as if you're being literal with your autism (altho', even figurative works) this could be an amazing weapon if wielded in the right way, but the current corporate culture won't allow that

It reminds me that as a kid, I was diagnosed with ADHD, still have it. I was weird and under performed with some things, but I over performed with other things ... But nobody came and exploited that, I was expected to go with everyone else and school just failed me considerably. Hilariously I was below average in language ... Until the Internet, which then my grades for that went up significantly, just by using the Internet. How about that? But either way, school failed me spectacularly. I was the weird kid (still is, in some way) and ended up hating school. School was boring and people were mean. Thank the stars that I was able to give no effort and passes around the average every single time, but that made me intellectually lazy because I always got away with that

Later on I went to adult high school to specifically finish some optional advanced math (I had my diploma already) to get into a college IT degree. The high school advanced math class there was made for people who barely failed it and it was too fast for me. However, there, I floundered for months because of this shitty female teacher. She was fucking terrible. In maths, I need to be babied. I need to go constantly ask "Is this right?" (because the fucking textbook didn't have the goddamn answers) and to ask for explanation. In this adult school, you worked on modules at your own pace and went to the teacher to explain shit. However, she was ungodly slow and had a FUCKING HOUR LONG wait time just to tell me "yeah that's right". Fucking hell. and when she explained things, she took fucking forever so my mind wandered elsewhere

I went to see the principal because I just couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to change from all day class, to afternoon only class with a specific teacher that I only got on a certain day that changed to this schedule because he actually catered to my needs. How? He didn't have a 1 fucking hour long lineup and was able to quickly explain things without wasting your goddamn fucking time. So basically, I did the rest of this advanced math, with half the goddamn daily time with another teacher and somehow, "S O M E H O W", I completely fast tracked the rest of the math modules. Who would have thought?

Goddammit
