Hi everyone,

I’m 60 days into my new job as an HR ops admin. For context I was laid off for 5 months from a job I really enjoyed. I was an HR generalist for a start up company and worked remotely since the pandemic. I’m now 3 days onsite at a corporate job. I started this job in February and just hit my 60 days. Today my mananger told me if I don’t improve in the next several days. I will be put on a PIP. This isn’t normal for me. I’m still on a 30/60/90 day plan. Any advice is appreciated!

Has there been feedback provided up to this point?

If you’re serious about keeping this role, I’d ask for 15 minutes of your bosses time and ask:
1. What does success in my role look like to you?
2. Where am I falling short & how can I fix it, quick?
3. What is the biggest gap you see right now, so I can address and fix that first
4. Is there someone on the team that can coach me to be where I need to?
5. Where else do you see I have gaps, in order to alleviate the need for a PIP?

I’d start the conversation with “hey ‘boss name’ I was surprised by our last conversation regarding a PIP, and want to get aligned so I’m set up for success to properly understand and meet your expectations”

Or you might find some other good questions from ChatGPT, but my advice is get very serious very fast if you want to keep the role. Once you’re on a PIP it’s a fast track to building an exit case.

Agree... at the same time, if the manager is lazy and doesn't provide feedback, then it sounds like they're just going to get rid of OP anyways :(

Hi! I’m interested. How can we connect?

I remember switching from remote to onsite and it felt like a big adjustment. It took time to settle. I would give it a bit longer before deciding if it is the role or the change.

And same i will.

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Afterward he said he was burnt out to his manager and then was fired a week or so later, even though the project recovered. Is there grounds here for wrongful termination?
