hi there - I have a PDR tomorrow and am worried about my reactions to my manager's feedback. I have had a rough time in my current role with major short -notice changes, unacheivable inherited targets (the previous encumbant found them so and actually walked out), a badly implemented piece of CRM software which I have struggled with, having to suffer the fallout of various personality clashes between my boss and another department I work with, no JD to refer to, no business plan on my sales orientated role. my mh has been suffering a bit I have to say! but how do I get through tomorrow, is it just a case of nodding while my manager dissects my personality (she has a habit of doing this) ? I am aware I sound moany- I am looking for other roles of course. TIA.

Prepare some stock responses, then you can try to let it wash over you and imagine her falling into a septic tank as she speaks.

"That's something I can work on."
"Mm yes, I understand."
"Ah yes, I see."
"Understood, thanks."

It doesn't matter if she can tell you don't mean it; she can hardly pull you up on agreeing with her.
