Good for you. So many times bad decisions are made about people and their abilities. It is usually done by people who have no business making those decisions, but they do.

I have a son going through that right now. Didn't get a raise or a bonus. Told he didn't do enough. Why only told at review time? Because the boss is an idiot.

He needs to chart another course for himself. Will he? Who know. But if you don't care for yourself, don't expect anyone else too.
