I just told them what they wanted to hear, like "promoting knowledge sharing through brown bag sessions" with no intention of ever doing it.



Ok :-) I wonder if team/department goals would have been more fun in your case


I was unhappy there after the first month, so any sort of goals would've been pointless. Don't get me wrong, I did decent work and would receive excellent reviews / praise for it, I just didn't like the culture / environment.

The honest truth: I didn't have any goals, and still really don't. I just wanted good, interesting work to do during these dark times (pandemic, etc), with as few interruptions as possible.
