Just had my midyear review. I got very negative feedback even though I have been killing it last few weeks. Manager pointed out I had been hard to reach in March (I had contacted COVID and was going in and out of hospitals) and said I had QC issues (which I don't contest when I was first starting out, but it's been getting a lot better). Partner dialed in and said manager communicated her comments to him and I can call him after I digested it. How do I approach this situation?
