The bar for remaining on the team at the 1-year mark isn’t just passable performance, it’s hell yeah! You’re excited to have them on the team in their current state, and you can’t wait to see what they do next.

Who writes this cringe-worthy crap? Or is it an American cultural thing?

This is just ultimately a commercial company churning out digital widgets so I hope they are paying "Hell Yeah!" money...

You'd rather the banal corporate beige in every other handbook? At least this reads like someone means it.

I 100% agree with the sentiment. If I had staff, it's the benchmark I'd apply (even if I did word it a touch differently).

Here, let me paste you, verbatim, an ex-colleague's LinkedIn description. This might be more up your alley.

    Over 25 years’ experience employing strong business and architectural skills in orchestrating and delivering innovative solutions that provide quantifiable business value to medium and large enterprises.

    I have strong technical leadership, a broad background in technology and a deep understanding of business drivers and challenges across multiple sectors which enables me to assist organisations in removing technical blockers and delivering business outcomes. Employing enterprise architecture principles, I am able to balance strategic thinking with pragmatic operational delivery to ensure life-cycle optimisation, organisational change and IT governance requirements are addressed.

    No, I'd rather straight talk clear of idealism about being a corporate cog. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

    It reads like someone wants to sound cool but fails to do so.

    That corporate drivel is insufferable and completely meaningless. I would never hire that person. But if that person described themselves as in your parent poster's example, I wouldn't believe it either.

They are paying pretty well for a remote only company and are hiring very rarely.
