Why do we insist on pretending that your job has any place for personal growth?

<Set some goals for the year.> Bitch, my goal is to do work and get paid. Let's not pretend the business will bend toward anything _I_ want.

Hmm... If I make my goal <learn Rust and apply it to a project>, I'll get a failing grade next review period if anything happens on my paying projects and I don't have time.

If I make my goal <close one ticket a week>, I'll get "Exceeds Expectations" just for doing my job.
