When I was a supervisor I used to tell people on my team that. I didn’t want them going above and beyond to make shit happen when we were short staffed because then the bean counters were gonna see that and determine we didn’t need more people. I told them they should shoot to get “exceeds” on their metrics but nothing beyond that because that was all that was needed to max out their performance review at the end of the year.
Has literally happened where I work. The team is now 20% of the size it used to be and now they’re thinking of getting rid of the team entirely and just having general office staff do the job.
I don’t want to be a dog’s body office worker, so I’m quitting, which means that they have managed to have a 100% staff turnover rate in 18 months. It’s like they actively want to lose the contract.
