Then again, I don't write mine. There is standard form the company uses, and anything above or below average must be justified. In the employee comments section, I always make sure to point out those extra things that weren't included.

I agree if there is a chance to increase it by 1% but most companies run like s10 said pretty much if you are doing your job you get a flat % increase regardless of how colorful your review is.

That it is why it always shocks me that some folks have to fight every line of their review. It is more like they can't take constructive criticism vs. actually wanting that extra 1%.
