> If your manager likes you, s/he will give you good reviews.

That is interesting, because I do my best to work with my manager to define success criteria that are independent of how either one of us feels. The goal being that when one or both of us has a lapse in "liking the other", which can happen for a number of unrelated reasons: depression, stress, illness, pressure, etc. It's hard, especially since I am often the only one that has ever asked my manager for that kind of understanding.
