Nothing is ever good enough.

You're right, this is what you get, when you hire fast food. Managers, as assistant managers, the lowes. It's always a system of never good enough, could have been one more. You could have done one more thing. This is why people don't make the extra effort.
DEI company
Yeah . Don't worry, it's a 100% DEI. Store. Therefore, any slop job will do.
that's because good enough is dangerous to the employer-employee power relationship.
if the company tells you that you've done enoug, it weakens its ability to ask for more. so the target moves. hit the number, there's a new number. take on more work, it becomes your normal workload. save the company money, next year you're expected to save more. the employee sells labor for a defined paycheck. the company buys that labor but wants to extract as much value from it as possible. those interests overlap, but they are not same.
that's why being good at your job doesn't necessarily produce the feeling of having succeeded. in many corporate systems, success isn't a destination. it's the new baseline from which the next demand is made.nothing is ever good enough because good enough would mean the negotiation is over.
