I don't get it. If I don't deliver on time whatever I must deliver because of external reasons (e.g., you're slacking, you don't really communicate well with others, you don't have a solid understanding of some tech concepts, etc.) then sure, it's "my fault" (although, it's more like the "team's fault" because is the whole team the one that delivers stuff, but this is another topic). And I understand if I don't get salary raises/promotions.

But if the reason I don't get a salary raise is because I don't deliver on time because I am working on other company-related stuff (i.e., attending meetings) then either: a) I didn't communicate this clearly to my manager ("hey, I spent a significantly portion of my time on meetings") or b) the company thinks meetings "is not work".

So, if it's "a)", it's my fault; but if it's "b)" then I probably already quit (who wants to work in such a company?)
