@missclairebenjamin: 🚨 Blindsided by a bad performance review👇 Getting blindsided by a bad performance review is frustrating- especially when your feedback all year suggested you were doing well. If this happens to you: ✔️ Try to stay calm and avoid reacting emotionally ✔️ Ask for further clarification: “Can you help me understand what changed?” ✔️ Talk about past feedback: “I was consistently told I was exceeding expectations.” ✔️ Ask for specifics: “Can we walk through how this was assessed with examples?” A fair review should be based on clear, transparent feedback without last-minute surprises. 💬 Have you ever been in this situation? Let’s discuss in the comments 👇 📌 Please remember the advice offered in this video is generalised and intended for guidance purposes only. It will not fit every situation, so please use your own judgment based on your unique circumstances. 💾 Save for later ✈️ Share with someone who needs this 🚀 Follow for more tips on handling tricky situations at work #worktips #leadershipdevelopment #corporatelife #emotionalintelligence #communicationskills #difficultconversations #assertivecommunication #assertive
If you get a bad review and you expected a good one, it’s not about performance

Its called deliberately avoiding giving a pay increase but gaslighting you into thinking you did bad so you’ll work even harder for same money to be told a different lie next year 1/2

This happened to me and I quit the next day. I’m not about to work for a manager who blindsides me. I now have a great job with an incredible manager I don’t have to manage up 😂

Has this comeback worked for someone in this thread? Genuinely curious because oftentimes leaders come to meetings with decisions already made.

My sister was in this situation. She just quit as clearly they were trying to bully her out of the job.

she got done with an 11th hour score calibration. someone needs a NEEDS IMROVEMENT so we can hit the bell curve.

Is this woman with this platform living in the 90s still? Why don’t you help the corporate world shift to 2025 paradigm instead of trying to resurrect the old one.

This, but with a probation extension. Absolutely blindsided. Left shortly after..

i will never be polite in such a situation. the manager will get back exactly the same energy they put in.

I lived this same situation 2 months ago, I’ve 12 feedbacks in the tool from my internal clients and team - she said I am too visible in the organization and do not respect her authority 1/2

I got the best performance review every year and one year they gave me a normal one and said it's because we have higher standards for you than everyone else now 😂

they just do this so they don't have to give you a pay rise, it's not rocket science

Would it be weird to have these prompts written in a notebook and pretend I’m taking meeting notes 🙈 I stutter and space out in conflict

I’m sure there are other jobs out there in her field. Happy hunting would be my advice

I can guarantee this to be fact. At my work all assistant managers get their scores set up in a calibration meeting they are excluded from, a month before the actual performance reviews.
