Push back on a rating or feedback you believe is unfair.
You're talking to: Your manager
Your goal
Get a meaningful conversation about the rating — specific criteria, concrete examples, and a path to a different outcome.
Supportive
Open to the conversation, willing to listen. Good for first sessions.
Realistic
Will push back with real objections. Needs convincing.
Combative
Resistant, defensive, challenging. For when you need to be battle-tested.
