It’s disappointing that being good at your job isn’t what makes managers happy it’s being good at their expectations.

I realized today when my boss was lamenting about a call with his boss: It doesn’t matter if the company is making more then ever or cutting costs. It doesn’t matter if they get the world. All that matters is that you meet managers expectations or find a way to sell them on less and overshoot those. Seems backwards and inefficient but once you get momentum I guess it doesn’t matter. Rant over.
