Seeking Advice on Handling Negative Performance Review

My supervisor (Director) informed me that she received multiple pieces of feedback from colleagues, indicating that my work is disappointing. She provided an extremely negative mid-year performance review without offering a rating number. She mentioned that this negative review will be reviewed by Human Resources, who will decide the next steps. Additionally, she stated that it would be a miracle if I am still employed after Thanksgiving.

Note: I have recorded audio and video of this performance evaluation discussion with the Director.

I would like to ask the “Public Court” for advice on how to handle this situation. Should I consider taking legal action against the Director and the Company?

Your boss is doing a classic jump and dump. If you call the Ethics line, complain about the violation of one of the following statutes: Affordable Care Act, Money Laundering Act, or Sarbanes Oxley. Make sure that you preserve plenty of evidence. Don’t sign non-disclosure documents. Hire a lawyer. You are about to get fired. Don’t panic. A dimwit from Jackson Lewis will be assigned your case. Good Luck!

Coming from someone who went to the ethics hr liason twice over my decade of experience at Aetna. Here's my advice.
Ethics line will document your side especially if you show a paper trail. However, they will still make you face your management to work it out. That in return makes your management retaliate in covert tactics and they will be very careful until HR closes the case.
Once the case is closed then the management will do everything they can to make you quit because that will show HR you choose under your free will to quit.
They do get scored if they have high turnover. So, it's to their benefit to make you quit. It costs the company a lot of money to hire and train so although they won't make your management quit it still goes towards their growth and development. Less likely to be promoted.
My two experiences with HR liason was awful. They were never ever advocating for the protection of ethics. They didn't do jack sh-t to my management. Months later after reporting my management I was forced into resignation for my own mental health sake.
Because I resigned and didn't get fired I was able to come back to Aetna twice. However, HR will not look at your applications until 12 months after your resignation. They really do frown on those who resign and come back again unless it's been 12 months expanse.
There is hope though, I have had other colleagues report and stay in other departments that forced their bosses into resignation. They had a strong evidence and a majority of people come foward so much so that HR was sitting in on management's meetings. Their management "quietly" resigned.
I suggest you read up on work place bullying it will help you understand what's happening to you so you're not dazed and confused.

To save time and avoid frustration, it’s best not to rely on the Ethics Line, Colleague Relations, or HR. These channels often prioritize the company’s interests over those of employees. Complaints about colleagues or management can lead to termination, as companies tend to view complainers unfavorably. Some organizations even use employee engagement surveys to identify and lay off those who voice concerns.

If you’re unhappy with your company or how you’re treated, consider finding a new job. This can help you avoid emotional distress, arguments, disagreements, stress, and other negative experiences.

Additionally, seeking legal assistance is often not worth the time and effort, as companies have strong corporate lawyers who can bring various arguments to discredit the complainer, potentially damaging their reputation and leading to blacklisting from future employment opportunities.

Someone said they're preparing for layoffs. This a way some companies decide who has to be laid off.
What's concerning is going by what other "coworkers" have said about your work

Hey there former employee who quit last year after being transferred to an a--hole director after the 2023 layoffs. To me it sounds like this director is doing scare tactics on you to try to get you to quit. Is there a formal correction action plan out on you? Management have to give a correction plan and they can go up to three correction a year per employee.
Has HR reached out to you? If notbI would call the ethics liason and document what your boss is saying and doing (provide emails and other proof). Don't mention to the liason the video of your meeting with your boss unless you both consent to the recording. HR seriously frowns on that and you could be breaking the state and federal law if you're not a one party consent state.
Aldo, inquire with the liason if your boss has put you on a correction plan, if they say no then you know your boss is ducking you and you can begin a complaint ethics/retaliation ticket on you boss. Good luck
