Your hardworking and good performance may not be fully appreciated and rewarded at annual review time. Even if you have done an outstanding job among your teammates, be prepared that you may get just an average review result. Your manager may not have many convincing reasons for this, but might pick on something you didn't do well. Sometimes your review result is determined very subjectively.

Recognize and appreciate people's good work, and reward them fairly.
