I may have a good manager some rules of communication still apply.
If I can make myself look better by (not) saying certain things I'd be happy to know.
It's sad to see so many people have bad managers.
Of course it could be expected. I have this theory that 99% of the people are a bunch of bunglers (no offence) so that also means 99% of the managers.

You could always use this[^] to help with your performance.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is
|

I'd need a higher desk

You can always point out your Code Project reputation score!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

and how you spent xx hours on CP accruing that score.

What a performance review is?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

4 simple words:
SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

|

|

And then that one simple counter-question, "why?"

When they hired me last year they asked me the same question, I answered "ideally, in your chair"
|
|
|

So you should ask him if he called you because he finally cleared his chair for you

I don't understand the concept.
If your performance isn't up to par, why should you wait 'til a yearly review to bring it up.
|
|
|
|
|
True, and I don't.
I'm guessing it'll be something like "you write good code, but we'd appreciate it if you came to the office a little earlier."
And then we'll talk about my salary.
So I'll mostly be defending why my salary should be higher than that of our king
|
|
|
|
|
That might turn into a discussion on whether the King is worthy of a salary at all.

Do you have any metrics that you were suppose to meet?
Is the company in good shape financially?
If not then you maybe in for a surprise when they tell you how you haven't performed up to the expected level.
Do you put your 50 hours a week in for the man?
No, Then your not taking your work seriously.
Is this the first performance review?
A guy I worked with had all the work he did documented and would bring in a stack of paper.
In the end its just a job.

All went well by the way, just as I expected
