Having to write OKRs makes me feel like I'm trapped in a satirical comedy. The work means nothing and the meta work means even less. This adds another layer that has me looking around for the cameras.

My favorite is the layers of management who apparently only job is to analyze and concern themselves with OKRs. What actual work is getting done? Who knows!

No joke. My director's only job is farming OKR ideas from reports, presenting OKRs to execs, evaluating OKR completion at the end of the quarter, hiring people to complete OKRs, Pipping those that did not complete OKRs.

And for this BS, he gets paid a million. And here I am coming up with actual solutions to real problems for the company, and yet getting paid less. Wtf!

Tabby is the name of an ai code assistant open source project I think. Quick feedback, I feel that OKRs are really context dependant, is there any way to make them a bit more specific to the project ?

Tabby is actually the name of our mascot (Tability.io). I agree that OKRs are context dependant, and you can add a lot of context in the box to get better suggestions (ex: We have an eCommerce platform selling mainly _____, and we want to double the number of returning customer).

That being said, the goal for us was to help people get a draft plan that they can tweak later. For instance, I don't know anything about PR, but I can ask the AI to generate a plan to get press and use that as a starting point.

We've also experimented with an AI that looks at past data to provide better advice, but you'd have to be in the product to see it.

Imagine how much you would get paid if you can automate that communication and planning aspect that the director does to/from the board of shareholders.

I would get fired because my director wouldn't like me passing the chain of command.

Such is the stupidity of middle management.
