Got a Bad Performance Review? What to Do Next


Listen Later

A bad performance review can feel personal—but your response is what actually shapes your career.

In this episode, we walk through exactly how to handle a negative evaluation at work—from figuring out what’s true to deciding whether (and how) to push back.

We talk about:

  • How to separate facts from emotions
  • Using your “receipts” to support your performance
  • When to challenge feedback—and when to accept it
  • How to rebuild your reputation moving forward
  • Why doing the work alone isn’t enough anymore 

Whether your review felt unfair or just didn’t reflect your best work, this episode will help you move forward with clarity and strategy.
