I absolutely despise the bullshit evaluation season.

There is no connection to performance relative to pay raises anymore, with only an exceedingly small number of exceptions.

I've been on both sides of the evaluation desk, and it's basically going through the motions of a system that at one point in the distant past was useful, but has been reduced to theater.

Both participants know that this silly, cynical pantomime will result in the same raise, if any, as everyone else in a similar role in the company, regardless of the interviewer's recommendations. Those decisions only occur well higher in the organization by corporate drones working their damnedest to squeeze into the C-suite.
