Any advice for handling an informal PIP? I’ve been working on some communication issues at my firm and thought I was improving but recently got called in by my boss and was told I have to turn things around in a month. The action items are vague and qualitative with no constructive criticism or outline on how to actually achieve them. I don’t see a long-term future here as neither my team nor my boss have suggestions on specifically what I can do to “rebuild my reputation.”

People rarely make it out of a PIP. I would start looking for new positions while you’re employed.

I don’t know how often people need to hear this but any shape or form of a PIP is a sign to lateral. If the firm cared enough they wouldn’t put you on a plan, they would simply tell you that this is an area of an improvement.

I’d suggest looking for new employment. If you want to try to turn things around, I’d need more information. Did you ask for specific examples? What are the action items they shared? What communication issues were you working on and what led you to think you were improving?

I’m in a similar boat. I’ve been trying to do my best to show improvement while still trying to lateral on the side. Not sure how much success I’ve been having with the former (since my firm leadership also has communication issues), but definitely having no luck with the latter, so I feel very demoralized and stuck. Hang in there; you’re not alone 😞
