Hello,
I am coming up on my performance review and wanted to get some feedback.
I’ve been told by my former boss (boss#5) and new boss (boss #6) tell me I have a pretty negative performance review. It will require me to be on a performance improvement plan.
The reason my review is so bad is I’ve had 6 bosses over the last year, and I’ve only been with the company a year. Heck the company is barely 1.5 years old.
During one period I reported directly to the VP. To say he didn’t like me is an understatement. He actually wanted boss #5 to terminate me when she started but she wanted to assess and have a chance to work with me first.
There have been instances where the VP called me out in meetings, dismissed me outright, and even insulted me in front of our vendors and other VPs. I went to HR on that one and did a full write up how insulted I felt. This was the only time in my history that I’ve gone to HR. I knew nothing would happen but I wanted some paper trail.
My performance review is coming up and it’s got boss #5 feedback and the VPs. I’ve had a preview of things to come from #5 and #6, and I feel like this negativity is the VP not a fair assessment.
I’m curious if I said “I feel this review is retaliatory for my going to HR” would I be out of line or using incorrect language.
For additional insight on the VP, boss 5 left for another department because of him, and the other department leads have grown quiet in meetings he attends to not start a bickering fest.
