rebuttals don't do squat
As I was told by a past manager at a former employer, you can write a rebuttal worthy of a Pulitzer Prize, and the odds of anybody reading it are slim; the odds of anybody acting upon what you write are even lower. You're allowed to write a rebuttal as a "feel good" measure. It will go into your file in the HR database, and that will be the end of it.
Only once have I ever heard of someone challenging anything in a review via rebuttal and getting it adjusted. NOTE: it was NOT reversed. And that is one person out of the hundreds that I've known in all the years of my career.
I applaud you taking the attitude that you'll leave giving them no advance notice. Like they'll give you notice that they're not renewing your contract, or that you'll be laid off in 2 weeks, or ..., well, you get the picture.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
