Now on top of my workload, which is already insane, I'm expected to set and meet personal goals by some arbitrary deadline? This shit is so condescending. I'm an adult, being paid to exchange my time and work for a salary. I don't need to be treated like a child and made to complete these homework assignments to prove my growth within the company. Anyone else dealing with this shit right now?

Ever notice how "personal goals" are supposed to be focused on work? That's because companies are using it to extract more productivity from the same number of employees for the same price. They're trying to exploit human nature through gamifying your workload for a dopamine rush. When this is realized it often feels condescending, because it is.
