I have worked for different companies. The one which always had static turn over, the one which had ever increasing turn over and the one which is yet to break even. All have different philosophies for appraisals. If appraisal is only about money then I am neutral as I do not bother much about it as long as I am comfortble. I feel unappraised if my accountability and responsibilities do not increase every year. This year the accountability is by huge percent and money by some percent but that's what makes me happy.SO guys go out and enhance perception about you and your working. Everything will follow.
