I had one 2 months ago in which my management read my 'stats' and gave me the opinions of a few colleagues regarding my work and personality in the office. It went great in terms of what they had to say but I was very guarded with my feelings about the studio at that point..
I told them I wanted to work with different clients and that has happened, but hasn't helped with my motivation..So now I have my 6 month review and contract negotiation next week and I hate these things. It's nice in one sense to express your discontent, but it does leave a lot of room for the employer to say, 'Well it's a shame you're not happy and our remedy is to let you go'
I just had a pre-review meeting and expressed my more than obvious misery about my job. Which I feel relieved to get off my chest, but without another sure thing in my back pocket [and no savings] I'm a bit concerned that I will get canned, rather than me quitting first...
I know they want to keep me happy, but I'm not sure anymore what that will take..
How do you feel about reviews/evaluations?

I think you may have dropped a clanger in actually saying you were unhappy.
It's much easier to say you're after a different challenge in your role but quickly becomes dangerous territory when the company are told you actually don't like it.

true but there was explaination and I did say that I could see it working, but I'm not sure how true that is...

Those things are tricky because the human resource asses only tell you they care about your needs, in reality there job is to keep the company staffed. I just left my job after 2 years. We had to write long essays every year telling them why we were an asset to the company. Utter CRAP. They kept it as part of our permanent record. ooohhh

Never an easy thing.
If you are open an honest and give them suggestions for making things better for everyone, the least they can do is consider it. But be realistic, and don't get emotional or aggrressive.
If they listen and act, you know they want to keep you. If not, well, start looking.
If it's purely down to a clash of personalities, you're better of moving on anyway.
I worked for a bullying bastard that ignored everything I asked for in reviews, so I resigned. Best thing I ever did.
