My guess is this is a small company rather than a small department in a large company? Its rare that a corporation would allow this to happen unless they have dispensed with the annual review process in favor of a behind doors classification scheme paired with more informal feedback (which is gaining popularity).

That said - Challenging them certainly won't have a positive impact. They either aren't aware (unlikely) and you'll make them feel dumb, or they are aware and you're challenging an uncomfortable rule.

So... Here is what I would do:

1. Write your own performance review. Keep it simple. A 3-5 sentence summary and document 4-5 S.M.A.R.T. goals (specific, measurable, achievable, results focused, and time-bound.). Such as "Completed X improvements which resulted in Y results in 2016" (elaborate in a few sentences.)
2. If your goals roll up to his (he should be sharing them) so much the better.
3. Iinclude a few achieved "stretch" goals and achievements. These are areas where you have gone above and beyond expectations.

Once complete - email to your supervisor.

"Bob, I've put together a summary of my accomplishments in the last 2 years. I'd like to review these with you and am available at X times. Here's what we should discuss:

- Lets mutually ensure I am on track for success and advancement when the opportunity arises.
- I want confirm I am helping you reach your goals as well
- Having exceeded my targets I'd like to discuss a reasonable merit increase by year end as a reflection of my contributions to the company and my span of influence (hot topic in HR these days).

I'm really looking for your constructive feedback. If the time above does not work, let me know when we can discuss."

Give him 3-5 days to digest and prepare for that discussion. If he refuses or doesn't take it seriously, tune up your resume. If there is a process and you just haven't been a part of it, get in it... ...but still suggest you have this meeting as "it is important that we can both succeed."

Hope this helps. I've got 25 years in corporate, half of that in leadership, and familiar with the good and the challenging. PM me if you want to disuss off-line.
