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.
