I've often had good reviews and crap for raises. Well, always actually. No shoe-pounding force of will.
My former employer was the most honest. They said up front that performance appraisals and raises were not coupled. Performance appraisals and promotions were coupled. Not the same thing at all. "Raises" were meted out yearly to (barely) cover cost of living increases and were balanced to keep salary ranges in a bell curve. No shit, they told us that.
Currently I'm fighting a related deal. I work for a consulting company. My customer likes my work so much they have voluntarily raised my billing rate 12%. Is my company going to pass that along to me? Well, first they have to determine if I merit a company promotion...
