We do annual salary adjustments here, too - until the big guy gave the feds zero for 2 years and our Nobel laureate Chu helped share their pain our direction. I guess we're honored to help?

We base adjustments off of a running three year mean ranking. (naively assuming a fair world) I just go with "OK, I'm 53rd of 175 R&D engineers. Why aren't I 52nd? What's the path forward for my advancement?" Underling career development is critical to my boss' own ranking, so he's motivated to help me.

Annual review times suck. I don't envy my group leader, but I'm not giving up anything either...
