Having to write OKRs makes me feel like I'm trapped in a satirical comedy. The work means nothing and the meta work means even less. This adds another layer that has me looking around for the cameras.
My favorite is the layers of management who apparently only job is to analyze and concern themselves with OKRs. What actual work is getting done? Who knows!
No joke. My director's only job is farming OKR ideas from reports, presenting OKRs to execs, evaluating OKR completion at the end of the quarter, hiring people to complete OKRs, Pipping those that did not complete OKRs.
And for this BS, he gets paid a million. And here I am coming up with actual solutions to real problems for the company, and yet getting paid less. Wtf!
Imagine how much you would get paid if you can automate that communication and planning aspect that the director does to/from the board of shareholders.
