Salary is an objective number. Performance is a subjective assessment by someone who may favor or disdain you. "Accomplishments" tends to leave out the effort put in by those around you. I don't think I know of a single manager I've worked with who would have been as honest in performance reviews if they knew their feedback wasn't going to be confidential. All of that is to say I wouldn't put much, if any, stock in such information.
