Terry: Have you seen the last email from Katy?
Mike: No, what about it?
Terry: They raised the target
Mike: Again?! This is ridiculous
Terry: I know...
Mike: They raised to 30!
Terry: Yeah, my team is furious
Terry: When I got here it was only 17 and it's been only five months
Mike: But they raised it to 25 just two weeks ago
Terry: I think Jack was right when he said we shouldn't be trying so hard
Mike: Well I was just doing my job. I thought that if we outperform we can get a raise or be promoted
Terry: At least we know they noticed...
Mike: I wish they didn't
Mike: What about those that could barely meet the last target? I was doing 30 a day on my good day
Terry: I know, Tim's struggling with 20 sometimes
Mike: Exactly. Did they say anything what they'll do in such a case?
Terry: No, I only hope they won't start firing people
Mike: Firing? I don't think so, we're understaffed anyway
The last e-mail from Katy informs that they raised the target to 30. Terry's team is upset. The target was 17 five months ago. It was raised to 25 two weeks ago. Terry and Mike's performance was better than expected. There are people who struggled to meet the last target.
