Performance rating

My Manager has rated me yellow rating last year ( we have 4 ratings[ Blue Exceeds the expectation , Green Meet the expectation , Yellow " Almost there ", Red " Not Meeting"]

My performance was quite good last year 2025 Calander Year

While performance appraisal she gave me oral feedback like "your lavel is nursery you are very beginner level knowledge " but on performance record she has not said any thing. No negative feedback and not explained what has not gone right. 

Yellow Rating calls for development plan which she has not planned as manager and no proactinness from her side 

We landed up in Sep 26 . Then I heard from my another Dotted line manager that she is planning to replace me 

Then I have written a mail asking her explain me 1- any performance gap with instances 2- Anything I performed which is delight 3- Any Priorities for the year 

She replied Don't focus on Year end just for for this quarter Q3 2026 

I prepared the Deliverables with timeline and on my first deliverables which was due to 11th Sep she said you should complete it on 10th. I said Mam I sent you mail she said I don't see your mails you look into my white  board which is in her room

I continued from there no argued 

Someday she will say you need to show ownership and when I start doing it then she does micro management. She is utterly confused 

Please suggest me way forward 

I am keeping  note of all instances in my record 

 



Quick Summary
An employee received a 'Yellow' performance rating, meaning 'Almost there', despite feeling their performance was good. They are concerned about the lack of clear, documented feedback and a development plan from their manager. The situation has escalated with the manager seemingly planning to replace them, and the employee is seeking advice on how to navigate unclear expectations and contradictory feedback.

You may seek avenues for redressal of the grievance within the corporate strcucture. It is unlikely that any litigation in the given context could be productive.

It is a procedural and not legal query.

You can approach internal redressal system/machinery to get your grievances redressed legally.
