Appraisal/feedback nonsense

Had my appraisal meeting with the manager today and the feedback I received don't put me in a good light. The manager wants me to be more proactive and ask for more work. In the last 2 years more than half of my team has quit for whatever reasons and even with the increased workload that I completed on time, I have received a rating of "partially achieved". What's even weirder is that the rating was given before the appraisal meeting even started. The manager had made up their mind. I see the market and feel grateful for a relatively safe job and a relatively fine package but this event makes me feel under-appreciated at work. My team lead still treat me like a fresher even though I have 2+ yoe and assigns high priority tickets to other team members. Given the fewer complex tasks in my bucket, the manager feels I'm not up to the task which is far from truth. I want to make a switch and move on to better opportunities before long but I am worried whether this merit report will sour my chances when the HR asks for them during interviews / onboarding. Have you had similar experiences? What did you do? Also, am I wrong in being worried about the appraisal report affecting my chances at new companies? TL;DR: Does a rating of "partially achieved" impact chances when applying to new jobs?

We've seen stories and videos of employees receiving appraisals from their managers. (Of course, more of hatred) Now, as a manager, how did you prepare yourself to share such feedbacks, both positive and negative. Did your team respect you less or more after appraisals? There'd be employees who deserve more but due to higher management restrictions, they're unable to get the deserving number. How do you prepare in such situations? How were positive appraisals delivered? Share your experiences from your professional journey.

Need advice from the community. I had my performance review with my manager last week. The broad feedback was something like this- in her mind, if I'm given any task, she knows it will be done and done well, meeting all expectations. She acknowledged that I'm sincere, hard working and don't cut any corners with my work. But will the task be done ++, she wasn't sure. I've been moving from fighting one fire to the other and never really got a chance to settle in one project, barring one, which my boss says I truly aced. Most of my colleagues believe I've done a stellar job and deserve the top rating but I didn't get that from my manager. My last 1:1 was almost 6 months back and all this time I never really got an indication that 'more' was expected. In fact when I was pulled into projects the only thing I was told was to 'look into this and resolve' without clear goals. I understand this year reviews are tight at most startups but I was left wondering where this came from and what to make out of it. I'm due for another discussion next week. Any advice on how to proceed?

for me. i spent college studying for grades and 20s making money in a job I don't like, but never got to make the memories I should've with all my friends. I regret doing all of that

During appraisal cycle I had asked for a hike in Salary after knowing I’m getting peanuts. Manager: Have ESOPs we will do buy back in next year and like I have gotten 2-3 ESOPs but no real money hike. Is this happening with you all? How do you deal this? Is it time to quit the org?

Just wondering if the things we write in bi-annual or annual review against objectives or in general - is read by anyone? I have been told in the past that no one bothers reading it as long as manager is clear about your work. Maybe if you’re up for promotion then it’s possible that the things u wrote are read. Although peer feedback + manager feedback (verbal) takes more precedence. So is this writing down just part of evidence collection?

Is it advisable to give feedback to your manager ?

In the recent performance review, shitty manager gave bad review. Though worked very hard the last whole year. Brought this to skips notice, but he's not ready to hear what I have to say, just speaks what manager has to say ( probably not to hamper his relationship with the manager). This manager is very careless and has no idea what's going on in the team.. Other colleagues who did less than equal to work as mine got better rating than me due to their manager being good. Lost all hope and motivation to work. What should I do?? If I quit now the market conditions are too bad. Did not learn anything much in this shit company.. Looking for advice..

Being a fresher, always heard about people getting hikes. If a superior asks about how much hike do you want and why, how to structure a response and how to research for a good number to ask!! Also, it would be helpful to know some negotiation skills/techniques!!
