Common to get fired due to low performance before receiving any kind of improvement feedback or being put on a PIP? I’ve gone from good performer to feeling like I’m bottom tier in the last few months.

All aspects of life - relationships, career, health mimic a sine wave. No one remains at top forever or at the bottom. Stop comparing yourself and keep doing stuff to the best of ability. After all that if they fire you, then so be it.

It’s common to use layoffs to clear out low performers.

Tbh it’s not always based on performance. Sometimes it’s perception, other times whom you know, and others it’s arbitrary. I wouldn’t waste time internalizing it as though it’s a reflection on your performance or worthiness.

What has happened to make you feel like you’re bottom tier?

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
