Antiwork

Employer created KPI goal for me to hit in Q1 (Jan-Mar), then moved the goalposts on me… TWICE. Did not receive bonus I earned, despite goal and reward being in writing.

(I work in marketing, so this was a marketing goal). I read this and interpret it as me hitting $150k in profit before the end of Q1. I did this by mid-February. I called my boss on it. He said “no, what I meant is you have to hit $150k in one month.” So then I did that. I hit roughly $155k in February and then roughly $185k in March. I smashed the goal. I had a meeting with my boss on the calendar in early April to review Q1. He rescheduled it 3 times, basically punting it down the road. We finally had the meeting yesterday. He tried telling me I didn’t hit any goals in Q1. I said “yes, I did and there was a $2,500 bonus attached to it.” He acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about. He put on a big show of…

He tried telling me I didn’t hit any goals in Q1. I said “yes, I did and there was a $2,500 bonus attached to it.” He acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about. He put on a big show of searching for the pdf file, acting like he couldn’t find it. Once he did, he opened it and it had someone else’s information on it. He saved over my old document. I said “that’s fine, I can just pull it from the chat you sent it to me in.” So I did. Then with this goal written out in front of us, he tried saying he wrote the goal wrong. He tried saying he meant $150k IN April. I said “April is not in Q1 though, that wouldn’t make any sense as a Q1 goal.” He then tried saying he meant $150k in one week. I was like “dude, that’s not what you said 2 months ago, you said you meant 1 month, then I did it 2 months in a row.” Didn’t matter. No bonus for me. Even though I crushed the 4th quarter, literally broke company records, I was made to feel like I did a shitty job.
