I’m feeling depressed. I was hoping to transfer to another department but can’t because my manager put me on a performance improvement plan right after I came back from medical leave. Nothing was ever mentioned to me before that there were issues with my work. It just seems because I had an unexpected medical leave this all happened. Plus my work got downgraded. Any advice?

Honestly? Find a new job as soon as you can.

From your telling, it sounds like retaliation for taking leave, and that they're planning to let you go. PIPs shouldn't be a complete surprise. People should have some clue that they're struggling, or being perceived as not doing as well as they should. That nothing was mentioned to you AND it came right after medical leave are massive red flags. Go somewhere and get a clean slate. People fear that the economy is turning, but there's still desperation for seniors right now.

Sounds like your manager is an idiot, either they put you on a PIP bc you were on leave, or they never communicated your performance to you

Not sure but either way I wished they had talked to me instead of just immediately getting HR involved.

Don't transfer to another department - transfer to another company! I wouldn't trust your manager for another 24 hours if I were you. A PIP within hours of returning from a medical leave? Geez, what 'reward' do they give people who just returned from their mother's funeral?

I can’t trust them as far as I can throw them at this point. This person has communication issues. Not sure how they became a manager in the 1st place. I wonder too lol

It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?
