Wow! On my annual performance review, in the Initiative and Drive for Results category, I got a 4.5 rating (of a possible 5- '5' ratings require approval of the Board of Directors, so this amounts to something like 'God-like'). Did pretty solidly almost everywhere else to boot.

And I'm still paid almost $14k a year less than I was at my previous job. Almost four years ago. On the positive side, at least this company has a solid future and my stock options should actually be worth something more than I'd pay for them when the company goes public (which is on the horizon).
