SMART goals are cringe. No serious research organization is using them.

Man.... if only we lived in a time with this mythical creature called a search engine, where if one puts in "what are SMART goals" the first reply will explain it to them.... if only.

SMART goals are the 1980s/1990s business world’s version of putting a motivational poster into Excel and calling it strategy.
I never said they're a good thing, just how to search for what they are

Others are as well. The FFRDC model is moribund
Which others?
MITREs FFRDCs are struggling no matter what their management says. Reactive and out -of-touch
Seems they're hiring again. Struggling and hiring don't typically go hand in hand
Are they hiring their family and friends?
Always.

Seriously? Do you have a google alert on Matheny? I don’t see how an essay in a student run magazine qualifies as being in the news! How did you even find it?
I keep a “RAND” alert for anything released that could create problems for me inside the building.
