I can see why it would be frustrating, but there is a bright side. At least you are getting the review, which could lead to a salary increase. Man, I would have jumped through several hoops if I was given the same chance at a job review back when I worked for the State Gov.
Hang in there and good luck.

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ Know them. Follow them. Love them.
Marriage for me has been a journey with many joys and lows, growing pains and bounteous comfort and warmth. I've become a better man for it and I love my wife.
Sorry Munch, but as much as I'd love to play EDH with you guys, typing all that stuff instead of just slinging cards each weekend holds little appeal to me.
Bureacracy is necessary for civilization past a certain point, but it takes considerable rigor to ensure everyone remembers the purpose of bureaucracy is to facilitate other functions. All too often it ends up a sticky sponge sucking the energy and time out of everything it touches while desperately trying to justify its own bloated existence. I have a lot of respect for efficient bureaucracy, because it's a lot harder to get right and keep right than people give credit for.
Awesome.
One of the issues is when people who are supposed to be vital parts of the bureaucracy 'forget' their purpose and start thinking that they're the hero of the story (ie, everything is about them). Which is what has happened at my workplace, with our upper management, a fact that has been clear for some time.Bureacracy is necessary for civilization past a certain point, but it takes considerable rigor to ensure everyone remembers the purpose of bureaucracy is to facilitate other functions.

In the public service information survey that comes out every year, my branch of Natural Resources Canada consistently shows the lowest results for opinion of their upper management in questions across the board. Has been that way for seven years now.
It's somewhat stressful, yeah.
I appreciate that, Tami. ^_^
But there's something here I think worth consideration. We're programmed this way, to think that 'because you have the opportunity to get a review, it's a bright side'. It's not. It's the bare minimum. If someone is hired to do Job A, and over time that becomes Job A + 5, and that is part and parcel of what they are expected to do, the absolute bare minimum that is just and proper is to pay them for Job A + 5.
Everyone should be having reviews.
Everyone should get fair pay for the work done (I'm not talking about one-offs, I'm talking about 'if your job has evolved into something different').
So it's not so much that I'm lucky for getting this (in a way I am, but that's only because the system is broken). It's that people who don't get this consideration - like Tami, back when she was working for State Gov - are basically not getting what they deserve. They're getting cheated by their employers, and it's not right. But it's now somewhat accepted as the norm.
It's the whole 'be happy with what you have, peon, because it could always be worse' attitude that employers - government or not - seem to have. Like they're doing you a favor by giving you a job, when realistically, they're dependent on the work that position provides. Shouldn't they be paying what is proper for that position, then?

Why are we here?
"Superboy Prime (the yelling guy if he needs clarification)..." - Postmania
"...dropping an orca whale made of fire on your enemies is a pretty strong opening move." - Nik
"Why throw punches when you can be making everyone around you sterile mutant corpses?" - Pendaran, regarding Dr. Fate
After the Naruto vs Ichigo episode of Death Battle aired, the youtuber and power scaler known as SethTheProgrammer was disappointed. Not necessarily in the outcome, but in how Death Battle portrayed both characters and their abilities. So he set out to make his own version of the battle, going so far as to fund the animation for it through Patreon.
The project has taken a few years but it's gotten so far along that he's recently released a trailer for the fight. And it looks pretty dope.
To all those who were in Siriel's Anima game, look who got their own official Magic Card.
