A good example of a goal that is likely to be effective is "I will do whatever it takes in terms of performance to avoid being fired."

This goal focuses on avoiding a negative outcome (being fired) rather than striving towards a positive outcome. Additionally, it is not specific or measurable, making it difficult to determine whether or not the goal has been achieved. A more effective goal would be something like "I will consistently meet or exceed my performance goals and receive positive feedback from my supervisor."
