Actually it’s more like those made-up “goals for next year” that they always insist on you making up. Over the next 12 months, the upper management reads a few books and changes all the goalposts accordingly, so that by the time the next evaluation comes up, those “goals” made up at the end of last year mean nothing. As long as the evaluation is reasonable in recognizing this, it’s all good…but even so, that exercise of making up the goals in the first place is a totally pointless waste of time.
