My response is a combination of the above. You have been there long enough that there doesn't appear to be any yearly review in place. I will tell you that if there was, there would be some 'buzz' right before and right after that process. Most are looking to the positive side, but some will be disappointed, therefore you would hear about it with the 'water cooler' gossip.

I actually went through this same thing a while back. Basically when companies f**k you they generally don't tell you in advance. The silence is proof.

I'd prepare for the worst prior to you asking your supervisor. It's clear from your scenario that your skills are better suited and thus rewarded elsewhere.
