Has anyone received negative feedback after a performance review cycle? I mean everything negative. I feel completely blindsided by my Director. Thinking of setting up a call to refute his feedback. Advice?

This happened to me about 3 year ago, eventually after 2-3 weeks I was let go with severance. Probably one of the best things to happen to me, because I was so depressed and ended up at much better place.

Yes. I had received positive feedback every year prior (twice a year) and they chalked it up to me being "in training" for a new dept. That was BS. This man came for my head. I spoke with upper management who pretty much sided with him, ignored my request for a sit down, and said he claimed I was "improving". It was then when I knew it was time to leave. Transferred to a new location (same company) for a year and now I'm at a new company and so much happier.

How long have you been with the company and is this your first performance review? If not, what was his feedback previously? If there’s a huge contrast to what you’ve been told before or whatever feedback he gives you during 1:1s, he sure is trying to get you to exit. Might put you on a PIP. Don’t lose hope! Just continue to do your best and if they still aren’t satisfied, then that’s your clue to move on.

This happened to me a while back. It really sucked.

Junior associate here (2L). Got some ‘constructive feedback’ from a 4L. We went over budget on a matter, and 4L thinks it has something to do with my inefficient delegation to 0Ls (and not the all the out of scope work the client asked us to do but doesn’t want to pay for...). Delegated tasks included basic grunt work like splitting out documents, preparing execution versions and other low-level tasks. 4L asked me to check with them before I delegate anything in the future. Thoughts?
