Kang, for once I agree with you. However, there is nothing wrong with a company doing what you describe. I'd just appreciate a little intellectual honesty in their so doing. Either scrap the whole pre-determined perf. review or make them honest. In a commissioned sales job, I have never expected a raise because of my performance review. A good performance, if the commission plan is done right, should reward itself with bigger commission checks. Why in the world would I care about my ranking in the company or a stellar review if it doesn't increase my income by a dime? Likewise, why would my less than stellar review last year motivate me to do anything differently, if I face no consequences for it?
