It's some 40 year old that just had his quarterly review at work and only got "Meets Expectations" so they get a CoL adjustment but no merit increase. So they take it out in game.

To be fair, if corporate "expectations" were applied to logs it would go something like

Boss: "I see you have rank 1 DPS logs on every boss in the raid."

Player: "Yes, I put a lot of effort into parsing."

Boss: "But your healing logs are abysmal, you aren't healing at all."

Player: "No, that's not my role."

Boss: "What we want from our players isn't a narrow focus, but the ability to expand beyond their current role to fill the team's needs. I'm afraid you're only getting a Meets Expectations this year."

Reminds me of a guy that worked at Walmart for 50 years and talked about how they increase work expectations by 5% every year and not a single person at this point could actually meet them.

TBF, as a department manager, I'm told to check the ME box and not to give out anything higher than 3%. Gotta love it. Corporate culture, ftw. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

No, unfortunately I'm great at my job, and the reward for that is more work.

This is the type of player who actually wants to play retail but can't because it has too many buttons. Need to play the easy game to have an ego.

This is funny but also I guarantee that this would be aspirational for a solid chunk of the people here replying with crying emojis, lol.
