Badger Jun 2020 4:26pm, 18 Jun 2020 12,417 posts	0 Badger It's a management technique whereby you tell your underlings that nothing is ever good enough because it can always be better. This is guaranteed to give said underlings a real sense of achievement. See also, promising your underling a set of targets for a grade review, then giving the underling hell every 6 months for not meeting the targets that you have never actually bothered to specify, allowing you to ignore everything previously achieved if you ever get round to coming up with a list, so that the list can be arbitrarily difficult to complete.
