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.

    I see what you mean. I said “a lot of praise”, but maybe that is too strong. Show respect, but keep the praise honest.

    Too many people go for the “brutally honest” approach, never even considering the “honest but respectful” approach.
