Prologue: Long time Reddit subscriber, this Lemmy thing seems neat. I will probably ditch Reddit completely. Hi everyone!
tldr; joined new team two performance review cycles ago. Reorg before I joined, now have inexperienced manager who is different than hiring manager. Things went downhill after a while, probably due to personal issues, now my job is at risk. Another reorg with new manager happening soon, trying to save myself from layoff until then and trying to save my rep. Wondering how to do this best.
Yeah, that’s understandable, but maybe just stick it out until there’s a new manager then.
But overall I’d recommend being more open rather than less. It’s rare for people to over-react like that, they should understand and it’s part of their role as a manager.
Thanks for the advice! I’ve also never been in such a situation before, but feel like I’m being cornered. So I’ll definitely try to condense this and bring it up with skip level, seems like I don’t have a lot to lose anyway. Being rated as underperforming currently means I’d most likely be laid off.
