Got a bad performance review stating that my work is good but I’m too overly confident and hard to collaborate with. None of my peers nor my manager has told me this to my face at all in the past year, so I had no idea. Am I going to get fired anyway? Too confident as opposed to what???

Go ahead and have fun with this one, but looking for real answers too. ‘Older’ creative here; my husband and I are starting to downsize.. close to retirement. Tossing stuff, donating, selling. But I’m stuck at a box of heavy awards. My first couple of Cannes lions, some one-show pencils, a slew of metal local awards. Too useless to donate. Too meaningless to sell. Too sentimental to toss.
