A Division of the Bureau of Bureau Management
What It Is.
The mission of the Office of Lowered Expectations is to strengthen Oregon by fostering resilience through the continued alignment of public expectations with evolving realities.
About the Office
When reality consistently fails to meet expectations, there are two choices: improve reality or reconsider the expectations. The Office provides Oregon with the more achievable path by carefully aligning goals, benchmarks, and definitions of success with the conditions we already have. Because sometimes the fastest way to close the gap between where we are and where we should be is to move where we should be closer to where we are.
In Their Words
The Office of Lowered Expectations is fictional.
The Office of Lowered Expectations welcomes contributions of any size. Any size at all is fine, honestly.
Request ongoing updates from the Office of Lowered Expectations and the rest of the Bureau. Notification volume may increase over time. That’s kind of the point.





More to Come
The Office of Lowered Expectations is one of several offices in the Bureau of Bureau Management series. Visit the Bureau homepage for the latest.
Despite how real this may feel — especially if you’ve dealt with government recently — the Office of Lowered Expectations and the Bureau of Bureau Management are satirical works of fiction and are not actual government agencies. Paid for by Angela for Oregon.
