It is likely them trying to flatter you to increase positivity in your relationship with them. The more positive your relationship with them, the more likely you are to stay as an employee and also potentially more likely to accept lesser compensation that you otherwise would. | |

Seen a few cases where mgmt assessment of this was quite optimistic, from their point of view. If so, leaving this disconnect in place sets up an avoidable confrontation // Very good answer tho. | |
