do you have a monthly meeting with your manager? discuss last months achievements, next months priorities? provides a monthly agreed record if suitable simple notes taken. Aids the memory at the end of the year.
Monthly? Hardly. I'm lucky if I get a single interim meeting during the year prior to the final meeting. Thanks Elise but I think if I want to fuck up my career beyond any and all recognition ... I'm fully capable of doing so on my own
And you want performance management and they won't give you performance management? Have you tried stamping your feet
