first of all i will like to prove a notion wrong that appraisal discussions are not to decide your salary. It is pre-decided. true sense of appraisal discussions are to get to know the strengths and weakness of yourself which you can improve upon in future if required. I had 2 appraisal's till now which were very informative and helped me improve a lot. It helped me grow both monetarily and as an individual. Also one more important thing about appraisal is you can put down your grievances which again depends on your appraiser that whether will be listened or not. I will only say a bad appraisal doesn't end up your life. There are many appraisals coming down your life and someone might turn out to be good also...so cheers!!!
