Hello all. I’m an emotional hamster wheel nonstop ADHDer. I guess I'm considered I'm the ageism group. I swear if you met me you would not consider that at all. I've been with my current employer for 18 years. Out of the 18 years my year end always been good and encouraging. Last week got a not so great review however I never was aware I was sinking in my performance. Now I have lost trust with managers. I’m questioning everything if i’m doing what they want. Not because i got no raise etc.

I would request the reviewer to provide a recap of the discussion and also ask them to provide you with specific details about what has gone wrong and ideas for how you can make it better.
You should be offered ample opportunity to improve, so do the work and document what you’re doing, to address the concerns. Ask for a reconnect check in to see how things are going in X amount of time to get feedback, and document that as well.
Bottom line: documentation is key. If it isn’t documented it didn’t happen, or at least it’s one person’s word against the other’s. It’s always a good rule of thumb to recap this type of thing in writing and make sure it sent through company email so there is a record trail.

I hope this helps.

I hold myself accountable to make those improvements but no one informed me since mind year 2024 when I was trending about.

My question would you trust your career in a culture that you can not trust? No one gave me my final no review to sign. I feel like i’m being set up for what’s actually coming
