Also, I suggest reflecting first. Have you set clear expectations. Provided adequate training and subsequent feedback. If you can confidently say yes. It may be time for a PIP. PA isn't for everyone.

Be sure to have a replacement ready before the termination.

After being given feedback, then put on a unofficial performance plan, then an official performance plan.

Sometimes people improve. It depends on the specific nonperformance and the reason behind it. Sometimes people have not realized there was an issue or did not think it was serious. Other times people legitimately can’t do anything about the thing that’s wrong.

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year. Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?

I am surprised and concerned about the fact that a lot of my colleagues do not have good excel skills. I literally had to show someone higher rank than me probably 30ish, how to do a “find” in excel for the workbook. This isn’t limited to people who have been out of school for awhile. This also includes new hires and staff, and seniors. Partners forget about it. They probably aren’t involved at all in building out the work paperwork but I feel staff, seniors and managers should be good users
