Re: Performance reviews...
You have a nice enough boss, you've done a good job and the boss says so. The company needs exactly the same thing doing next year in exactly the same manner. There's no money for a pay increase and, anyway, why would the same thing be worth more next year?
The process is frustrating, pointless and demoralising, the same as always. It's no one's fault except for the creators of the review process, they've failed to acknowledge that work is shit. It's not supposed to be rewarding except for the shareholders.

Re: Performance reviews...
Performance reviews/appraisals - whenever they get mentioned I can't help thinking of the episode from The Office - the scene with Gareth (he has a list of names of the "duds") and then the one with Keith from accounts - 1 "very much so", 2 "sometimes", 3 "dont know" etc.
The complicated processes that occur with lots of companies just reflect the extent to which they've been contaminated with HR nonsense and turned into mini civil services.

Re: Performance reviews...
I'm not sure which is worse - vindictive or incompetent.
I find if they are the former, it is easier to be steely about it. If it is the latter, I tend to feel a bit sorry for them

Re: Performance reviews...
I turned my last performance review completely around by telling my bosses the things they needed to do differently in order to do my job more effectively.
It worked
except I've managed to streamline my job so much that it is really not a challenge anymore, and quite frankly I'm bored 90% of the time
