Getting emails from management and I can tell that I’m going to be put on a PIP or at least have it suggested.

I had a breakdown a few months ago and I tried to be super upfront with all of my management that I was really struggling mentally and I needed time for it and time to talk to my doctor about medication changes. I knew I wasn’t performing then and wanted to correct it.

This might not be a battle worth fighting, but if you disclosed a medical condition to them and they’re basically retaliating against you for it instead of trying to “reasonably accommodate” it, you might have an ADA claim against them. If you were to make noises about that, it might buy you some time, although it’s not going to overcome a broken culture.

Which firm? Happy to refer you. A PIP can be hard to overcome

I’m so completely upset that instead of being understanding and supportive that I was being open and taking corrective steps, I’m being formally called out and documented about my performance.

Any tips to prevent me from spiraling? I’m not even in the mood for tips to improve the work situation because I think it’s pretty clear they don’t care about well-being...

Thanks SLC1- I had actually had to go through this with a previous employer. Formal EEOC complaint, lawyer, whole ball game and settled out of court. (Was NOT mental health related, for a physical condition and they were super obvious with their retaliation, so cake-walk case for my lawyer). That whole process is so taxing mentally. It’s 100% why so many people just give up and employers can still do shady stuff. Not sure I have it in me to even start throwing around those words. I’m hoping to just get it all the over with as quickly as I can.

Having super anxiety right now. Really want to leave consulting but afraid I won’t be able to find anything with a comparable salary and better work/life — my clients seem to be running just as fast hard.

Where do I start if I want to take therapy?

Had a therapist who encouraged me to quit my job to be happy. Also encouraged me to not settle with my girlfriend because I’ll regret it (like how he regrets getting married). Ended up quitting my job and became more miserable, poor and suicidal. Haven’t seen my girlfriend due to long distance and COVID and we might break up soon. Did I just find a bad therapist or is it normal to project your own regrets to your patients?

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?
