It's almost a new quarter, and we all know that means it's time for a new OKR methodology! What are you doing this time around?

turns out we have an yearly product cycle, so every quarter we just copy the okrs from 4 quarters ago with slight modifications.

When we had OKRs (for years) in every quarterly meeting I'd have to ask what an OKR is, then immediately forget until the next meeting.

the first time I had okrs I was like, we said we will do all these things but you’re asking me to work on this other thing that isn’t related. when it came to score them obviously they were low. my boss didn’t seem to care and it didn’t affect anything so I stopped caring too.

It's the most important thing for doing your job properly, there's obviously a systematic issue with how your org works. Have you considered putting them on the first slide at every weekly meeting?

at my org they want everyone to have Microsoft certs so they can attain and keep Gold/Platinum/Unobtainium Partner Status.
basically, what they really want is for people to go off and study in their own time, but they can't come out and say that part.

every single year in the performance review they bring up training and add it to my development plan.
every single year I rate myself "no action due to 100% billable" and nothing good or bad ever happens about it.
then we add it to next year's development plan.

To achieve alignment with what our organization expects to see in your OKRs, please read this John Doerr book "Measure What Matters" and come prepared to talk about your OKRs at our 1:1.

(Please note: I will make up my own definition of what a good OKR is that is unrelated to this book.)

Did you know that if you compare one quarters OKR score (0.7) and compare it to the next quarters OKR score (0.6), you can now draw strong conclusions about the health of your organisation and the need to reorganise teams. congratulations on being data driven.

I'm surprised they can even commit to doing a 1:1 with every employee every two months

(I'd guess they can't actually)

Additionally, we won't be giving you the book or letting you expense it or letting you charge time for reading it.

E: *angrily eyes copy of Start with Why on bookshelf*

E2: That being said, as :jerkbag: business books go Start with Why seems better than most? :shrug:

E3: Truth be told I think they were going to let me expense it if they hadn't canned my worthless rear end before the expense got approved (and it might have actually been approved and tacked onto my last check come to think of it) so I withdraw my :objection:.
