No Salary Discussion in My Appraisal — What’s Your Experience?
In my appraisal meeting, they didn’t ask or discuss my expectations about my salary or hike percentage. The entire discussion was only about feedback and performance review. After the meeting, I asked why they didn’t allow me to share my expectations or reveal my hike numbers. They told me that the hike numbers would be decided only by the owner and then they would inform me. I feel an appraisal meeting should include open discussion about both performance and future expectations. What are your thoughts? Does this happen in your company too?

Its a proud feeling working at Ministry of Defence, but as far as concern with career growth and salary it is quite disappointing, coz due to government organisation growth and salary hike is very slow, security reasons are very high due to this limitations are there for learning new things, work environment is satisfactory. The most satisfaction part is that we can easily balance our work-life here.
