I once got told for an internal promotion I couldn't put anything regarding my current role, responsibilities and achievements in the role. I got told to put any volunteering or previous.

Reason given was it's what is expected at work everything you do in your role, you need to show above and beyond.

Seems like that'd just discourage people from going above and beyond at work. Why do more than the bare minimum to avoid being fired if nothing else you do counts?

>Look, we want you to express yourself, okay? Now if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, okay? You do want to express yourself, don't you?

The Flair scene? Oh seriously than got me so much vicarious embarrassment, I feel uneasy just at the thought of it.

I will never go above&beyond again – for any corporate entity – ever again. You can blame past corporate bullies, not yourselves.
