how do you handle a poor appraisal when you know you want out but just buying time until you land anothe role? I'm interviewing but progress slow. Do you say something or keep quiet and suck it up?

do you think the appraisal was unfair? if so, it doesn’t matter if you’re looking to get out anyway, you should still articulate your concerns just to make sure all your basis are covered and they have no good excuse to put anything bad on your record.

In a very similar, if not identical situation. Have been trying to change industries for about 10 months and meanwhile my work quality has tanked because I just hate it. My manager has offered a "flexible work schedule" to interview. Not the most comfortable conversation but in my experience, your managers and vps will appreciate the transparency.

It's tomorrow. I'm expecting negative feedback. She's alluded to things that have been missed or not putting hand up for pitch work. I get it. The role is just not for me and it's painful going to work and trying to find an alternative role at the same time. I'm a frustrated entrepreneur and salesman stuck in a media coordinators body.

Thanks AE1 - I almost said I don't want the job and am interviewing but worried they would use it against me. I'm talking to HR confidentially to ask what I could say without it going on record. It's like poker. I'm just faking it to make it until I get another job. The problem is coming to work is really knocking my confidence and not in the best frame of mind to hunt for other work. How is your job search coming along?

OP- I would play that game very very carefully. Make sure whoever you talk to is someone you can trust because I've also seen the "candid" convos backfire! Job search is chugging along just fine. I feel like I go through cycles of aggressive applications and then nothing- my advice is to schedule "meetings" with yourself to apply for jobs every day. I usually do it in the mornings in a nice quiet corner of my office and then can start the day with a hopeful outlook. Good luck!! ✊🏻
