  The problem with those points is that they are lies. And you will have to stick with the company for at least two years before you figure out they are lies, and that even if you do what they say you will not be promoted, because promotions are for people who are well liked, not for good performers.

    I see them more as ammunition. If they say here's why you didn't get promoted, and I disagree, that's my signal to look for another job. If they say here's what you need to do, and I do it, and don't get promoted next year. I can say, based on last year's and this year's review, I expected to be promoted. If they try to con their way, that's again my queue to leave. So in a way, yes, it might be lies, but it forces them out in a very transparent and no nonsense way. Which I'd prefer.
