Performance reviews are just employers controlling the narrative when employees are underpaid

Right?
If you underperform, brutal negotiations ensue … prove your value or the deal is off.

Buuut, if you’re overperforming, you get gold stickers and praise, and the possibility of a pay bump through a process controlled by the employer …

instead of you telling the employer that *they* have to prove their value or the deal is off.

Instead over performing then becomes the expectation.

    What?

    Performance review is from the employers side, obviously.

    There is nothing stopping from you to walking into your boss’ office and telling them that you’re not getting paid enough for the work you do. Then either they pay you more or don’t and you find a better job.
