Sure depending on how old you are and if this is your first job or not but you basically shit talked someone that had your back you probably should have extended the same courtesy and had their back in return

Did you talk to your former boss about the issues prior to going above her to her boss?

It’s crazy that people can have shit that effects them outside of work I don’t think you saw your boss as a person

That’s when you should have said to her ‘I know you’re struggling, what can I do to help us keep on top of things until you’re back up to speed?’

The minutiae of admin stuff can be tedious when you’re ill, so helping instead of bitching to her boss would have gone far. Stepping up with a great boss will only help your career, instead of losing it.

Now you know, personally, what this means.

Spend your time at work finding a new job, this 'performance review' is your notification of termination.

You fcked yourself too, learn from it & move on.

Unfortunately, you may need to compensate by working more hours for less. You should, however, be sending out 5+ CVs a day at this point to anywhere hiring your skillset, as a backup.

Regardless of what led you here, I hope you manage to get sorted quickly, sounds like a terrible business to work for.

If you have a suspicion you’ll be fired it’s the most responsible thing to have a backup plan even if it isn’t your best-case scenario. Making less is infinitely better than making nothing. Don’t do this again if you ever have another cool boss. Lol.

I see.

You can pass this review if you meet the metrics of your role. You've done it before, do it again. Make sure to get the scope of the performance review in writing, before it starts.

Head down & bang out cv, after cv, till you find the right position to move to.

Good luck, whatever may come.

Of course they want to get rid of you you stabbed your last boss in the back. No one wants to be the next person you screw over.

How tf do you help by telling on someone to their boss? What exactly did you want him to do, force her back to work? You knew exactly what you were doing and I have dealt with evil people like you at work

If you wanted to help, you should’ve asked your now fired boss what you could do to help instead of complaining about it.

But you intended something to happen. Rather than going to the person directly and talking to her. You went over her head. There is a chain of command in any job. If you ignore it. The only possible outcome was fire/ write up. You knew what you did. You reap what you sow.
