When You Receive A Disappointing Review - What To Do?

What To Do When You Receive A Bad Performance Appraisal


In this video you'll learn about a few tips to get you through that unpleasant annual review meeting, and about some of your options if you receive a negative evaluation from your boss.

Nobody likes performance appraisals, but when you receive a review that is disappointing, or you feel does not accurately portray your performance, you are going to feel all kinds of emotions, all of them negative.

It's absolutely critical for your future to reflect on the situation before acting or saying things that could put your career in peril. A bad review isn't the end of the world, but if you handle it badly, it could be the end of your job.

Poor Review Doesn't Always Have To Be Bad

Remember that your appraisal can serve as an early warning system. Isn't it better to know there are problems (at least in the eyes of your manager), than to simply be fired due to lack of performance, out of the blue? Whether the review is accurate in your eyes or not, it TELLS you something about what you can do NOW.
