I met all of my objectives year in year out since 2010.
Surpassed expectations on more objectives than I met.
Does not mean anything.
Few seem to know what’s going on.
Those who do know, they fear reprisal.
So, no one has got your back.
You are on your own.
Many decision makers live in a virtual world; an alternate reality incompatible with humanistic values.
Don’t get me wrong.
Millennials are great.
But if that is all you’ve got, you will miss out on the wisdom acquired over an extended work experience.
Bottom line, as long as upper management stays the same, nothing will change.
I left last year and that was one of the best moves I ever made in my professional career.
I recommend you be ready and look around, and not let the culture of fear and abusive environment dictate what will be decided for you...especially once you >45.
