Implementing OKRs brings to light fascinating truths about organizations and how they operate: leader behavior (and coherence or incoherence of it); beliefs about accountability and ownership of both the responsibilities and benefits of labor; and in some cases, deeply held biases and even gaslighting become visible for everyone to see.

For the other two groups: if you're open to a more activist take on OKRs, I'm that writer.

I started working with OKRs a few years ago (personally) because of my need for an objectively quantifiable way to maintain my (relative) sanity working in environments where the goal posts were always moving.

Interviewing as a woman of color is a trip. I get asked so many more questions than other candidates and sometimes undergo an extra interview. #workplacetrauma #whitepeople #racism #sexism

Is there a server or community for people who have experienced #workplacetrauma? 6 months ago, I finally left my shitty retail management job, an abusive work environment I stayed in for 5 years. I'm sure everyone I know IRL is tired of hearing about it, but I don't have a therapist and don't know how to work through all these experiences that still hurt. I worry about my friends that still work there, too.

Talking and commiserating with others who have been through bad job experiences is cathartic and helpful to me. I can never get enough of "tales from retail", "malicious compliance", and "fuck you I quit" stories, so if anyone would like to share theirs with me, please do!
