AUDIT SA1 - UK
Just got the info from my CC that a PIP will be applied to me.
HC confirmed there will be one PIP. There is potential that a second PIP but this is only in the case that the first one is failed. And I asked that will I be dismissed if I fail the first PIP. HC said a performance & capabilities meeting will decide what the next steps, but usually it is a second PIP.
Should I believe it?
Or should I just refuse the PIP and take the redundancy package and leave? What’s the package?

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
