Yeah, that's understandable, but maybe just stick it out until there's a new manager then.
But overall I'd recommend being more open rather than less. It's rare for people to over-react like that, they should understand and it's part of their role as a manager.
Thanks for the advice! I've also never been in such a situation before, but feel like I'm being cornered. So I'll definitely try to condense this and bring it up with skip level, seems like I don't have a lot to lose anyway. Being rated as underperforming currently means I'd most likely be laid off.
