One of the advantages of having my pay legislatively frozen for the past four years[1] is that my boss feels it would be a waste of time to evaluate my performance. Back when I actually could get raises, I had to do this hokey self-evaluation and then go over it with my boss.

[1] The Washington state legislature has frozen all state employee salaries from 2009-2013. Even though my salary is entirely grant-funded and I don't cost the state a dime, I still can't get a raise. Unfortunately, I don't think legislators understand how research universities really work.
