Looking for guidance on whether to leave a company I've been with for 3.5 years now.

I just received results from my quarterly performance and they are strikingly low, enough where you think this person would get fired. This is really bad timing because I am about to go on paid maternity leave in late August and putting in my 2 weeks to salvage my credibility would mean I would lose a huge chunk of change. But I might get terminated anyway during leave if account transitions don't go perfect

I would definitely not put in my notice. Hang in there until mat leave. You deserve it and when you’re feeling up to it during leave, start looking for another job. Put in your notice after you return and make sure you read the fine print for what happens if you return and leave in terms of any salary’s payback requirements.

Also, have a conversation with your manager. You should never be surprised by your performance reviews so see if there is a way to get feedback more real-time if they feel like things are going that poorly.

Commenting to input more info that I've never been terminated before and have no current gaps in resume. I've never been flagged for performance before so this is an unusual mark in my track record. I've been with the PPC industry for 6 years and was promoted to a leadership role 1.5 years ago

This sounds like maternity discrimination. Odds are, your "poor performance" is directly related to your upcoming maternity leave. Your company may be trying to make you leave so they can avoid paying you. Depending on where you're based in the world, speak to your union or a professional advice body who can give you advice on your rights.

Is anyone else experiencing this in their market?
