Lol, this sounds like the relationship between my boss and I. I like the idea of setting goals and rewards for him, if that is possible.
I've been at my current job for a little over two years, and whether I work hard and finish projects two weeks early or two weeks late, I get the same feedback.
For the first six months I worked here, I worked my ass off, dressed nicely, showed up on time, and was ahead of schedule on just about everything I worked on. The result of my performance review was "meets expectations."
I was a little irritated by that, since our pay increases are directly tied to our performance reviews. So in 2007 I slacked off. I wore old clothes, showed up late, delivered many projects at or after deadline, and was a generally poor employee. My performance review: "Meets expectations." Where's the incentive then?
Now I've found a happy medium, where I deliver projects right at the deadline, and spend many many hours a week on Pelican. There's no future in my job, so why work hard? (Yes, I'm currently looking for a new gig.)
