I have some coworkers who seem to collect certificates like Pokémon cards. I see a new announcement weekly and I’m not seeing their professional growth. Are you applying what you’ve learned? How are you doing it?

My company just had some layoffs. I’m seeing an uptick in requests for training and certifications too. I think that’s driven at my company by people wanting to pad their resumes right now.

That’s the sad part of it, but I understand their reasons. Do you know if they are trying to learn something new or update current skills?

I see that happen a lot too. They will go and get certificates that they never actually end up using. I only reccomend certs if you are going to use them or they are required. No reason to get cert after cert just for fun.

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?
