Yep. In my previous job I would ask my boss every year when pay decisions were made. It was always BEFORE we did our required end of year Employee Performance Review. I asked why I was expected to spend several days documenting what I did for the year when it had no bearing whatsoever on the raise I got. Then I got told that I wasn't a team player.

It also pissed me off that the first time my boss would learn of much of what I did was after she'd already made a decision on my raise (or lack thereof).

My new job? My boss does the eval for me. We meet weekly and she actually knows what I do. I did have to do an eval for one of our interns, but I felt like that was way easier than doing it for myself.
