The problem with that is it applies throughout the year. Those weren't the only unattainable metrics.

To give you an idea of what this place was like, I was shitcanned because I spent too much time in "UNAVAILABLE" status. For two whole days I was "UNAVAILABLE." It was on the last day of one month and the first day of the following month. When the next review came up I was auto-termed because I missed my "AVAILABLE" numbers two months in a row.

I was "UNAVAILABLE" because I had been promoted and was in training for two days. My trainer told me to be "UNAVAILABLE."

Apparently that wasn't a good enough reason for being "UNAVAILABLE." Rather than correcting it or even trying to stick up for me my manager gave me a "Sorry, nothing I can do."

Nordstrom, by the way. Garbage company. Do not work for them.
