You would think. And you would think that there would be some kind of tie-in between performance reviews and advancement, but there isn't. You could be an exemplary employee for many, many years and it counts for squat. And my opinion as her supervisor counts for diddly until the very final phase (reference checks).

I guess I'm peeved at the process, but it's what you get when you accept a career in the government. Though it's better than what I saw in the private sector when they gave the promotion to the inept former OHL player with a side agreement that he would join the company hockey team.
