Dont QUIT, after a bad Performance Review Rating

Not everyone gets an Outstanding Rating, few do get “Does not Meet / OR  Just Meets Expectations”

What do you do when you are told your performance “Does not Meet Expectations” ?

I am sure one of the toughest and most uncomfortable time is to be having above experience.

Few things to pay attention…..

#1. Do not lose faith in self .

#2. Do not believe someone with few more years experience, can judge you, to evaluate you correctly.

#3. Do not become pessimistic.

#4. Do not stop doing what you are good at.

#5. Please write an e-mail to 5  people whom you know well, requesting for feedback.

#6. Do not react to the evaluation, from emotional viewpoint.

#7. Do not schedule meeting with your Manager for at least 1 week, for further action plan ( let the reactive trigger and emotional wave settle down )

#8. Do not start talking negative about Manager or Organisation (This does not make you feel or become any better)

#9. Please take a objective look after 1 week and identify areas you can focus to make the difference.

#10. Please use the POWER of MIND to remain FOCUSED.

The above will not change your Rating, It will help prepare so you do not start on a downward spiral.

As the saying goes Success Succeeds, same applies with failure so you need to APPLY BRAKES to stop gong downhill mentally.
