Hi! I just wanted to make a post about how toxic my old company was and share it. I was fired earlier this month bc I was put on a pip by my boss and 2 senior execs on the marketing team. Fast forward a few weeks and I find out the company laid off everyone on the marketing team except the 3 ppl (including my boss). Sus huh?? How snakey of my old toxic af boss that he stayed while more qualified senior management was let go. Fuck them.

So are you saying your pip was not performance related?

It was but that’s bs. I had no issues with my performance. Once the new boss joined that’s when I was placed on a pip. And it just so happened that he stayed while everyone else was fired. SUS

PIP’s are always a way to let people go. If you’re put on one, you should be looking for other jobs immediately. They don’t care about improving your performance if you’re already at that point or they would’ve allocated resources or training towards it earlier on. They’re looking for a way to fire you with cause.

And are there any chances of being straightaway fired based on these automated mails?

I would genuinely need an advise from someone who is aware of this kind of situation.

Thanks in advance

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise. I know he was the provider of the household and his wife didn't have a job since she was raising three young ones. Needless to say, I had to take off because I felt terrible, sick to my stomach. How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
