I’m looking forward to my upcoming performance review and presenting my detailed outline of why I deserve increased compensation. I feel like I have a lot of leverage in the negotiation which is a great feeling going into it. Curious to hear people’s thoughts/advice when it comes to performance reviews and asking for a raise.

In the workplace, people will always disappoint you. If you’re a high performer, it’s daily. At times, it can feel beyond frustrating. Mind-numbing seems like an adequate descriptor. When this happens (not if), just remember that they’re small. They’re setting their ceiling. You’re not small. You’re constantly raising your ceiling. Don’t let small people confuse you and make you feel small. Let small people be small. That’s why they are where they are and you are where you are.
