Long story short. I was put on a PIP but found a new gig, after telling the head of the audit department I really want to be here and I am trying my best, but feel like there is no way out. I also hated busy season. My pip is ending today if they don’t let me go how do I delicately burn a bridge?

They shouldn’t be shocked by the jump. If you want to gentle it, you can explain you need to think about what’s best for your economic stability and that you found a new job. If you want, you can add that you appreciate all the help and insight you were given and you’ll be keeping those lessons moving forward.

Even if they’re upset, remember that they’d fire you in a heartbeat if they were told to, do not feel guilty. Do what’s best for you.

Good advice. I'm on a PIP that's never ending it seems. So hoping to secure a new position next week. I really hope I get it. It sounds like a wonderful place to work. Small firm. But big opportunities. I don't want to burn bridges but I want to also give feedback for them to manage better.
