I have been with my current role for about a year, but one thing that has been driving me crazy is how development-focused the entire organization is. It is a continual topic that management speaks about ad nauseam, to the point where it feels disingenuous. Like, do they really want me to grow, or are these just steps that they want everyone to take regardless of their skill set?
I am all for goals or improving in your role, but I am not motivated by goals or growth or anything like that. I am happy where I am. While I do want to learn and grow (I mean, who doesn’t want to make more money), I don’t feel like I need a billion goals to be successful.
