This is legitimate feedback. It's SMART feedback. If you go to his boss with I don't like this feedback. what is your expected outcome? What would you expect if someone when to your boss to complain about legitimate feedback you gave someone else? You may not like it but he has laid out exactly how he measures engineers and how he expects his managers to measure them. If you aren't able to accomodate to meet his measurement and you aren't comfortable knowing you don't meet his expectations, find a team with a different culture. IMO going to his boss saying I don't feel that this very legitimate feedback will likely only accelerate your departure because it sounds like the director has reciepts to back all his statements. You should make every effort to address it directly with him and your manager before you escalete with no real grounds to escalate.
