The attack isn't unknown, neither you nor your manager were born yesterday, you should have some semblance of how your work meets/fails to meet the expectations

The attack isn't unknown, neither you nor your manager were born yesterday, you should have some semblance of how your work meets/fails to meet the expectations for your role. Writing also has a magical power, where people believe it more than spoken words. The reason it has this magical power is because it commits you to a particular story, as opposed to one that changes with the winds. Also, just to clarify - are you making your claims from experience (I am, for promotion), or based on what you think takes place in perf/promotion meetings?
