No, I think that's right. If you reach their target, then they will be satisfied because thats the least they expect. If you got to final, then they will be happier because you exceeded their targets.

So say in your working life, irl, if you met all your targets set at the start of the year. But your boss says "Regardless of you achiving all the goals we set at the start of the year, i'm still only 60% satisfied with you, so now pay rise and a "not achived" mark for your appraishal"!!

You'd be happy?
You'd say that was fair? </BLOCKQUOTE>
Yeah that sounds fair
If you want more then go above and beyond expectations </BLOCKQUOTE>
Yep - that's how my company works as well. "Doing your job" is what you get the paycheque for. "Going above and beyond the job" is what you get rewarded for.

We get a below-inflation "cost of living" payraise for fulfilling our targets .. but the big bonuses, payraises, and promotions follow for individuals and teams who exceed expectations, and on years where the company as a whole exceeds expectations.

Fail to fulfill individual expectations, and its no raise, no bonus for you, no matter how the company as a whole did.

You've met expectations. If you achieve more than the expectation than the bar will be fuller. If they don't expect anything - say 1st round of a cup and you win it - then it'll be full!!

Yes thats fair. Althoug I need to pick apart where you said "i'm still only 60% satisfied". My boss would be 100% satisfied that I reached the targets. He just wouldn't be over excited.

If you have seen any of my posts regarding the confidence feature you will see that I'm not happy with it. However, I can see that this part is fine. What I don't get is how you can reach all the targets in cup competitions, exceed the five year plan (by getting two leagues above where you want to be) and they are only satisfied then. They should be exstatic that you have achived two promotions, when they only wanted survival in a league. But thats for another day.
