As long as you haven't had a talk where they document it, then you are fine. Just keep working, and look for another job.

True. I asked out of an abundance of caution just to be sure I’m doing all I can

Although it is disheartening, take that as a challenge. Keep doing what you do, improve some and start looking for an exit

True, thanks for the advice

Sit down with him or her and figure out what the issue is. THEN look for the exit if you don’t hear something that gives you pause

Fair enough, thanks again

Why should he be a fan of yours if you aren’t delivering top notch work product? Do better and work harder.

You made a good point earlier, but if I didn’t want to improve, why seek advice at all?
