can’t tell if i’m being dramatic or not: always had good reviews and raises but this year had a very questionable review. my work ethic has not changed so now im suspicious that they’re using this as an excuse to either not give me a decent raise or let me go.

Tends to be a thing when company’s didn’t meet their revenue targets for the year before and don’t have a large pot of money for promotions/raises/bonuses. Managers are told to cap reviews at a certain level instead of their accurate rating. In my experience managers have always been pretty up front about this though

i’d respond much better to hearing hey we don’t have the money than telling me i’m performing inconsistently and not having the situations to back that statement up. unfortunately i’m hearing similar stories from other coworkers.

Similar thing happened to me except I never even got a negative piece of feedback until the actual laying off. Consider it a blessing you have time to look for something new now.

I had a manager once who firmly believed that he had put together an exemplary team, and he gave us all glowing reviews. Upper management told him that no team could possibly be that uniformly good, so he had to say something negative about somebody at some point. So for a few review cycles, he had to select one person to say something negative about. He was really open about it with all of us, and nobody was happy about it, at least of all him.

I realized I've been a dummy for getting a job at a creative agency and not working on my portfolio. Most of the projects I've taken on, I've done so as a way to support others without taking much credit for it. Now, a better opportunity came along and I don't have anything to show for my talent as a designer. ALWAYS take credit for what you do, even if it's not your project to begin with.
