    My job has reviews every six months and we write a statement of our own accomplishments as part of it. These are taken into account as part of the review. That kind of accountability is fine.

    Requiring federal workers to send weekly emails that won’t be read by anyone for the express purpose of making them feel unsafe in their jobs and demoralizing them into quitting, especially when you’re completely outside of their reporting chain, is basically bureaucratic terrorism.

      If your manager doesn’t already know what you’ve accomplished and praised you for it, they don’t deserve the job

        The manager is never the one setting those policies, except at very small companies

          They should still shield the employee from said shit policies. You don’t quit a job. You quit a manager. If you disagree, you’re a shit manager, or have never had one

            I’m not really sure why you feel like it’s OK to attack me for responding to you, but it’s not. People quit jobs for all kinds of reasons, like money or growth opportunities that are limited based on the needs of the company or moving because of family. Not everyone who quits a job is unhappy with it. I could go on, but I don’t think you’re interested in listening to other points of view, so I’ll spare us both.
