How many OKRs does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Somewhere between "Illuminate the Future" and "Drive Brilliance at Scale," we lost the plot. OKRs are supposed to clarify goals. Instead they read like word salad no one understands seasoned with key results no one owns. So I’m asking:

What’s the weirdest/most confusing OKR you’ve seen?
Have you ever written one so vague or poetic it could double as a horoscope?
When did your team realize your OKRs were perfectly aligned to absolutely nothing?

Yeah, if you can't measure the OKR with a KPI, you probably need better OKRs
