I'm being put on a PIP, and it truly feels like this is just because they don't want to take the straightforward route to cut me off. Are there others on the bowl who have had this experience? I guess it'd be comforting to know what I'm getting into so I can be more calm in my head. My performance has been completely normal in my opinion, so this is really out of place to me.

PIPs are rarely something I see people come back from, not that it’s impossible, just be prepared. It can depend a lot on what it includes. If they are reasonable asks and something you can do, that is more hopeful. But regardless, updating the resume and starting to look around isn’t a bad idea.

You are probably right to be concerned. Many companies (not all, but many) use PIPs as a way to cover themselves for when they let you go. I really hope that's not the case, but I would start job hunting so you have a backup.

I'd be concerned, yes. But why don't you talk to your manager about this?

Managers use PIP's to paper their trail when they fire you ultimately. Never sign one without saying you'll seek legal counsel. If you did, use the time to find another opportunity. I was in a situation where the managers outright lied about my performance just to have someone to scapegoat. I wished I had known more about the process. I consulted the internet and universally people say its the precursor to doom. As you note, your performance was normal. White collar work is so hard to appraise and wholly dependent on others evaluation based on subjective accounts. One small negative detail gets you bad press and a PIP.

GS peeps, now that the reviews seem to be finally over, what's your take? Better system with more flexibility or just more room for your manager to screw you?

Just an advice...

People who are in product based companies. PLEASE do not join SERVICE base companies.

Move from service base to product base is good but not viceversa.

Its a HELL.

Thanks for creating this Bowl. Anyone here transitioned from cost engineering into PM? I’m working a internal consulting type of cost engineer role and is seems like a good position to gain skills in that could apply to becoming a PM in the future. I have also worked in design engineering and engineering analysis roles. Have a BS in mechanical engineering and a MS in Data Analytics Engineering.

Do any Kearny folks have insight on what the process is for country/office transfers? My friend recently got into the Seoul office (he has a Canadian passport but is native Korean), how easy would it be for him to transfer to Toronto in a couple of years?
