Better to just get fired. Not sure what firm you work for but at B4 no one can disclose you have been fired. They can only confirmed dates of employment - in case you were asking for future employment concerns.

I would continue to stay while still looking for a new job. Make them fire you so that you get a severance. Being fired isn’t as big of a deal nowadays. You can explain to recruiters and employers that the previous job just wasn’t a good fit and that you’ve agreed with management that it was best to part ways.

PWC 2 hit it right on the head.

However, keep in mind, should you choose the fired route, your severance package may depend on how many years of service you had with the firm. That could vary from at least 2-4weeks or pay.

With that said, if you’re already interviewing, and happen to get a job offer, it could end up all in your favor

Better to quit. Be honest with your manager and say I don’t think it’s a good fit. Would you be fine if I leave early on some days to interview ? That way you can still have a paycheck while you interview.

@senior associate 1 - getting word that I'm getting put on a PIP, which is PA speak for start looking. been on interviews but getting no offers hence and I'm afraid I'd run out of time before the inevitable

What's the best course of action when you find yourself at a job that's far more chaotic than you assessed while interviewing? Upon starting this job a couple of weeks ago, I discovered between the time I interviewed and my start date they had hired a new CEO, laid off all of their off-shore teams, changed my position to a new hiring manager, and added an on-call rotation to all engineering teams. None of this showed up in my research of the company or my interviews.

I had a failed natural FET in Sep & did a mock transfer 2 weeks ago (HFET). Results came back Receptive. I got my period 2 days after stopping the PIO. RE mentioned I can start embryo transfer this week & did not need to wait for my next cycle. My periods are not always regular, so I like the idea of not waiting for them to start but also nervous if this could impact the embryo transfer as it would not follow the same timeline as that of the mock cycle. Anyone try this approach with success?
