I have 6 goals for financial year 27. I am told that is normal despite. To me this sounds odd having just joined from another company. Am I fodder for a layoff or some forced curving ?

@hh , it's a useful process in other companies but not at OpenJoke. With their frequent wfrs, removal of bonus, salary freeze and budget prioritised for ELT "games", there is always a stick and no carrots. Effectively, rendering the performance review moot. Except to be use as an HR excuse to be used in wfrs.
For a goof, I put: "In order to work with newer technologies outside of Citrix, I would like to focus on COBOL and mainframe". As predicted, nobody noticed. Put anything you want in there: karaoke singer, human canonball... It makes no difference. :)
@f0 not true at all
@OP, sad but true, they really don't mean anything. Don't try to wow anyone because you won't and you'll just end up disappointed.
The only way to get promotions or an increase is to be in with the people that dole them out.
@f0 yup. Yet another useless, time-wasting activity added to our task lists.
@OP, don't worry about it. Performance reviews and goals don't mean anything. It does not leads to bonus, pay rise or promotions.
That's about right; just copy-paste the goals into ChatGPT and ask it to answer in corpo talk. Performance reviews and goals don't mean anything
@OP Without logging in to my OT PC, I would say that is about right, and they're all generic company things that don't make a lot of sense when you're new (or even a decade in).
