Pros

Constant reminders of rapid scaling make sense of the nonstop rush and chaos.

Cons

Targets are unrealistically high, completely detached from what is actually achievable, with no concern for long-term results or sustainability. The drive for numbers crushes thoughtful decision-making, and raising legitimate concerns is labeled as negativity. This fuels constant turnover, with quantity valued far above quality or credibility.

Thanks for your sharing your perspective. We set high expectations because we believe our teams are capable of achieving meaningful, challenging goals. That said, we also take feedback seriously when it comes to how targets are defined, communicated, and supported. Sustainable growth depends not just on ambition, but on clarity, trust, and the ability to raise concerns constructively. Input like this helps us continue refining our approach so performance quality, and long-term impact are aligned.
