Whether you know what or not, your boss mentally has you in one of three buckets. He does just enough bucket, the solid contributor bucket, or the all-star bucket. And when your boss gets with their bosses and talks about who they want to promote into this position, who they want to lead this team, who they want to give a raise to, they talk about which bucket you're in. You need to figure out which bucket they see you in because either one, you agree and you're good with it, two, you agree, but you're not good with it and you want something to change. Three, you disagree and you need to figure out why the value that you bring to the company isn't being accurately communicated. I don't know the way that management perceives you is going to affect how much money you get, the opportunities that you get. In my experience, it's not always accurate. You need to control the narrative about you at work.
