Feel devastated. I started 3 months ago as an ABP looking after 2 senior directors - 1 I was completely mismatched with and really brought me down so much so my work suffered. I even talked with my manager about this and he helped me devise a plan. I was advised I was there for a reason and in hindsight, I was assigned the wrong buddy. I made clear plans to implement and got a new buddy. Nothing was ever written down officially as a plan for me to “improve” (continued in comments)

And now I find myself out of a job. I wasn’t even given the full 6 months probation or given time to implement the changes that were talked about. Giving reasons like calendar room bookings were missing (which they weren’t) and I ping a lot instead of focussed updates. I can’t argue it as it’s probation - but nothing was ever in writing as a clear plan for me and they said I didn’t improve in my probation despite being told but I was never told about any issues. Feel gutted as it was a great job. Would this hinder any chances of reapplying to Google (I was at GDM)? They asked me to resign voluntarily so it’s a “clean exit” and HC said to say org changes so eliminated my role / moved the role to another country / my role changed. They said it won’t hinder my chances of applying to Google. Can anyone from Google HC advise if previous performance can be seen if it was another part of Alphabet? Thanks so much!

I believe legally they can’t share the details but with the right connection they can ask questions that would insinuate that, e.g., “would you rehire them?”. If the answer is “no” the it’s fishy and probably they won’t move you forward.

Sorry it happened to you. Try to not take it personally. I went through a similar thing. Keep your head up and start looking elsewhere

Hi Fishes,
I have an experience of 6 years in Production and Application Support. I have worked as middleware administrator as well for Jboss and Weblogic.

But I am not sure without any practical knowledge, will I get a job at this many years of experience in a different profile.
Do companies hire for AWS profiles with good packages at beginners level?

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
