Dangerous games under performance appraisal

Greyson 2022-01-03 08:02:18

Bachmann is not suitable for this era. He should have realized this after Beirut was "broken up", but he didn't, so he messed up this time.

When Martha apologized to Bachmann for the Lebanese incident at the small supermarket, Bachmann still didn't understand what Martha really wanted to say.

At the last intelligence department meeting, Bachmann was quite proud when he said "make a safer world", thinking that he could persuade his colleagues at a table, at least to persuade Martha. He didn't notice that people in other departments didn't respond to his words, and even the owner of this sentence-Martha-had no affection for this sentence.

Why? Why did a well-planned spy game end up like this?

Times have changed, and the performance system has ruled the entire administrative organization. The evil performance system!
It forces Martha to not tolerate any harm to American citizens that may be attributed to her;
it forces Mohr to arrest people as soon as possible to avoid any security incidents that will incur blame;
it forces the Secretary of the Interior to choose to let the Americans take over to avoid having to bear the existence of the law. Risky cases.

The only group that escaped the performance appraisal was a gray area group. The ideals of the old intelligence man who led this gray group were crushed by this ruthless performance appraisal.

A Most Wanted Man quotes

  • Jamal: You are forcing me to betray my own father?

    Günther Bachmann: You are not betraying him. You are saving him. That is an act of love.

  • Jamal: I-I can't do this anymore. Someone's going to find out. I can feel it. I'm freightened. They are looking at me. All of them. I'm done. It's over. I'm not your spy. I am student. You cannot make me do this.

    Günther Bachmann: I never made you do anything, Jamal. And I never will. You know that. When we first met, you remember what we talked about? You remember that? Family. The future. Most of us don't get to choose. But, you did. You made the right choice. It's not easy. But, there's no going back - for any of us. We can't undo what's done.
