anticlimatic

Each year since I've been here...my annual performance review has been anticlimatic. This year was no different. It went fine and all, but there's nothing constructive that comes out of it. In fact, they've already budgeted your raise before you go in. They might as well just email you.

"Dear [NAME]: Congratulations on another year at [COMPANY]. Your hard work and dedication has not gone unnoticed. We're giving you a [PERCENT] raise. We look forward to another year of great work from you. Thanks again!"

Well it could be worse. I could be out of a job, or get no raise at all. And for that, I am thankful.
