#PerformanceReviewDrama: Have you ever been blindsided by a conversation with your manager that left you questioning everything you thought you knew? 🤔 Today during my 1:1, my manager dropped a bombshell that left me reeling. She asked me what I put in her annual performance review and it completely caught me off guard. 😱 I thought I handled it well, but now I’m second-guessing myself.
#FeedbackFiasco: Is it just me, or is this situation totally bizarre? 🤯 My manager seemed upset and angry about some feedback that came up during her annual review, and she thinks I’m the source of it. But here’s the kicker – I honestly can’t remember saying anything negative about her in the review! 🤷♂️
#CYAAdviceNeeded: So here’s where I need your help – should I just chalk this up as a learning experience and move on, or is there something else I should do to cover my bases? 🤔 I feel like I messed up by disclosing the content of my eval and apologizing, even though I don’t think I did anything wrong. 🤦♂️
Let’s figure this out together – what would you do in this situation? Poll below! 👇 #ManagerDrama #ProfessionalEtiquette #CareerAdvice
This was a learning experience for your manager much more than it was for you. I’m going to assume that the GM will find out about this and put a swift stop to it.
You didn’t do anything wrong, your manager needs to learn to actually be a manager and not involve her reports in this kind of situation.
You didn’t do anything wrong, and your relationship with your manager may have continued to suffer had you not shared the info. I’m not suggesting people should share what they put in a 360, but your manager put you in an incredibly difficult position and I think you handled it just fine. Your manager is learning some tough lessons here, but you shouldn’t worry.
