It’s weird to have vague, non-business expectations built into a yearly performance review.

If you can give me some more examples I’m happy to hear them.

So far, commentators have listed:

(1) dietary considerations for team meals. (2) participation in company ERGs (this has never been compulsory at any company I’ve worked at). (3) making up a series of words they hope will appease managers

None of this seems like it should be part of a yearly performance package?

Personally, if I had celiacs and found out people were using ordering me a gluten-free pizza as a critical input to their yearly performance reviews, I’d probably be a little weirded out. But then maybe I’d be one of the more popular folks in the office come lunch-and-learn day, so pros and cons I guess.
