Denying Appraisals

Its been 4 months that my boss told me "You are due for a huge appraisal once you finish your MCSD.Net". I was left with just 2 exams at that time and I am still left with 2. I haven't made the attempt to clear them. It would have taken me just a month if I had to clear them but I have chosen otherwise. Reason - If i would take my exams my notice period with stretch to 2 months which I really don't like. I just don't trust the organization enough. Especailly looking at their past records...

So, I have been denying my appraisal for the last 4 months. I could have earned an additional 60K but... I even had a confrontation with my boss regarding this and i told him what was on my mind.
Result - the notice period will not change automatically at appraisals.

Big Win for me? Not exactly, because if I take my appraisal then the unrealistic expectations of the management will increase and I will be put under more pressure. Its me who is loosing either way. I get 20k and I work more then the people who take double the amount I get. And those who get the same as me don't work at all.

The management likes people who are ready to wag their tale in front of them for ever. They want bonded labor. And there are people who are willing to do that. By paying me a higher salary the management might be looking to

# put a ton of work on my plate.
# buy my faith
# doing away with the fear of me leaving out of this organization.

I may be wrong but this is what my perception is, at this time.

I have denied my appraisal for last 4 months and will continue to do so until I move out or the management shifts from its biased double standard thinking. Lets see who blinks first.......
