as a manager, I hated doing them. They took a long time and we didn't have much choice in the matter but to pretty much give them the same across the board. If I wanted to super reward someone I had to penalize someone.
One time I had someone argue .25% over the principle of the point. We argued the point for 2 days, and in the end, I ended up terminating him for insubordination, because he took 2 whole days, not just a few hours, but 2 whole days of my time.
I don't like them because of some people expect to get raises and well so do those fuck offs that don't deserve them. Yet, you try to not give them a raise and HR steps in. All a matter of being a pain in the butt.
BTW.. congrats on a good raise and bonus.
