I had my review with HR the other day. I am three months into a six month period of probation in a new job which I enjoy and need to keep us afloat financially. I was reasonably confident that my manager would speak well of me. He has never found fault with my work, I have taken on a lot of extra projects which go beyond what I am paid to do and the day before, he had said that he always feels pleased to see my name on the list of participants in a project as he knows I know what I'm doing!
However, he stated to HR that he finds my work inadequate. If he says the same three months from now, I have failed my probation and may be fired.
I fought back my initial instinct which was to cry, (did that with a trusted colleague present. She was horrified and disgusted by what I told her.), then find him and call him a cockwomble wank badger! I spent the next two days finding stuff to work on that kept me as far away from him as possible. I could not bear to be near him and his friendly manner just seemed smarmy and two faced.
So, should I confront him? The problem is that he is best friends with the CEO. If I say my piece, even politely now that I feel calmer, will I just make it worse?

To ask my manager why he gave me a poor review when he has complemented me to my face?
