How should I break the news to my JH? He has been in the service for almost 20 years, and I am like 10 plus years junior to him. I don’t know how he will react and I am genuinely concerned how this will turn out.
Hope to hear some advice here, thanks in advance!

Just tell him the truth using the sh*t sandwich strategy:
1. Highlight the strengths in his current areas of work - e.g., dependable, able to do what he was assigned independently, etc
2. Share the key factors that were considered in the ranking appraisal process and where he stood relative to others of his substantive grade. Tell him his grade. Highlight the areas which he needs to do more/showcase more so that he has a chance of an improved grade next year.
3. Seek his views/validate his feelings of the news. Ask what else you could support him further as his RO in his work.
