Got asked "how happy are you" in my performance review today. (I'm doing well, apparently, so it was about retention.) I answered honestly, and got a follow-up about how my experience could be better. How can you *actually* be honest about that? Like, "I'd like to disregard all business goals, work only on my own projects, work only when I want, and I would like my pay to continue to grow, but faster." Even if that's true, you don't *say* that to your supervisor.
@2ck I'd say it, and I think most supervisors would just laugh if you did honestly.
