"Performance" review

[mooncancer]

It kinda sucks when performance reviews aren't actually based on performance; our team well exceeded our metrics for the year, but we're all getting 'average' reviews since that's the highest our dept managers are allowed to dispense this year (stings extra for me since I've always gotten 'above average' reviews in previous years

Yes, I've learned this about my company, as well. Reviews are based muchly on how much the company wants to pay you in a raise context.

It sucks but it's life. If you know the company is strapped to pay you more, etc, try not to take it personally. I did not get any raise this year.

That sucks! Good luck in your job search in 2013.
