Spanish term

a como de lugar

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
From an employee survey (question not provided):

Que se relacionen las evaluaciones de desempeño de los empleados con su salario, que se relaciones parte de los bonos con los entrenamientos, que exista un path obligatorio para la formación de consultores y no quede a cargo del área de ventas porque a ventas lo único que parece importarle es hacer la quota a como de lugar. La educación y calidad quedan en último lugar.

no matter what

this is the closest I can come up with.... a bit open ended, but so is the original "a como de lugar"

More formally: with no concern (for consequences, whose toe they step on).... you get the idea.

Without caring about anything / despite of everything

Se refiere a que lo harán sin importar absolutamente nada más.

También podría ser "regardless quality and education".

Saludos.
