I hate work reviews. I used to didn't feel that way, but once I had one [View all]

after 6 months. I had had no indication that my performance wasn't satisfactory.

Then at the review, my boss and her boss told me my performance wasn't up to the level I was at

Anyone else had a similar experience?
