How do you survive a PIP?
I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. Just the fact that I'm judged even before the job starts and the thought of being constantly being monitored.
Ofcourse I'm already actively looking as I don't see myself here long term even if I was to get out of PIP

You don’t survive PIP, the process is designed to make you quit so they don’t have to fire you.

like

Use it to apply at other companies. Don’t quit, let them fire you; you might get severance and can file for unemployment (job market is getting better but still sluggish). Put in the minimum effort to look like you’re trying but don’t kill yourself physically and mentally over it. Some do make it out, but it’s primarily designed to protect the company in case you sue them by documenting they tried to give you a chance but there were no improvements during the PIP.

I have counseled many people on PIPs. Embrace it. Accept the feedback and develop a plan to improve. Request feedback often, self-assess even more often. If people know you are trying, they will try to help. People that don’t make it act like they don’t care or think the feedback was wrong, don’t act on a plan to improve, etc. you can survive this. And even if you move on, still focus on what the PIP says, they are really meant to be helpful.

You gotta earn that trust. People don't go on PIPs for nothing. If you've given up and are disconnected from what got you there, the best thing is to move on (for everyone).

My father took a home loan, and the same home is kept as mortgage.
I'm paying arround 22k emi for the same but unable to exempt tax as the loan is on my father's name.

I googled a lot how to transfer it but neither gift deed nor sale deed would work as the property is on mortgage that's under bank's ownership (until loan is fulfilled).
Tax is also getting deducted, I'm paying hefty emis.
What can I do?
Please advise 🙂
