Second this - they can be a real advantage not only to employees but also managers because they bring clarity to the relationship

Agreed with SE1. To me PIPs done right have two things: clear expectations to help the individual grow, and they need to happen with either very good spirit or before the individual is burnt out by a grinding experience. To me a good manager will identify and start the PIP before the worker feels burnt, a GREAT manager will do so without the need of a PIP.
OP, if you're on a PIP, think of it as a fresh start and try not to let previous misconceptions or prejudices get it the way. Make sure expectations are super clear and crank it out.

Need some advice on renting here in ATX.

Back in May 2021, I rented a property that had sustained damage during the big snow storm. This wasn't disclosed at lease signing. The home leaked every time it rained, mold was found in the home & the LL failed to make repairs that resulted in me falling down a flight of stairs. I moved out& rented an apt for 2 mos before signing a lease on the house I live in now. This house has a serious big problem& I've found mold here too. Continued below

Hi all! I need some candid advice from y'all. How do I get my manager to see my value and see that I'm actually doing a lot of work?
