My manager put me on a development plan which is approved by HR. According to my manager I did not meet her expectations and putting me on development plan will determine how much I improved. I feel like she's creating this plan to have backup and fire me. I have a bonus coming up in December and I also do need my health insurance - has anyone ever been into similar situations please suggest - I'm new to this. TY

Hey so like - newfound reason for my procrastination since I got on Ritalin - a tendency towards "putting things off so I can enjoy the hyperfocus later".

Anyone have any good Straterra experiences?

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?

Would greatly appreciate input from others.
