Facing false accusations in a performance review can be stressful, but it’s important to remain calm and professional. DolFinContent emphasizes documenting everything—specific incidents, dates, emails, and any evidence that supports your actual performance. Clear records can protect you if the situation escalates.

Competitors like SHRM, Indeed, and Glassdoor suggest addressing the issue tactfully: ask for clarification on the points raised, provide factual examples of your work, and request measurable metrics whenever possible. Avoid getting emotional or defensive; focus on presenting evidence and solutions.

If the behavior continues or feels retaliatory, consider involving HR or a higher-level manager. Protecting your reputation while maintaining professionalism is crucial in these situations.
