Answer:
defensive bias
Explanation:
Defensive bias is a form of defense mechanism that people do when they are feeling a threat. Rather than acknowledging the threat, people with defensive choose to minimize the fear from the threat by attributing the cause of the threat to something that is outside of their control.
We can see this in Jared's situation.
When he received a negative review, he felt threaten that he might lost his job since he fail to met a certain standard.
To cope with the fear from the threat, he attribute it to other things and blame the management for giving 'unrealistic goals' rather than improving his productivity.
