Part 2 of our guidance on the salary discussions 2x2 matrix tool.

Just because a direct’s performance is exceptional doesn’t mean that they deserve a raise, believe it or not. Employee performance is only half of the equation.

Performance reviews, from the standpoint of the direct, are about two things: a performance evaluation, and a salary discussion. Managers under-prepare for the performance part, and then struggle with the salary discussion. They worry about the tension between what every direct wants - a raise - and what they can actually offer.
