I’ve been on PIP once before and I felt the relationship between myself and management was beyond repair… so I used the 30 day PIP period to ‘try’ and improve my sales process (even though my metrics were above quota). After PIP, this particular company offered:
1. 30 more days of PIP as a final chance
2. 30 days to transition accounts/territories and resign.

I used the 60 days to land my dream job in which I’m killing it! Use the time for good instead of stressing. I know, easier said than done.

Good luck!

No, definitely do NOT go on disability if you don’t legitimately need to.

First, take an honest look at your performance. Do you deserve to be on a PIP? If you have a decent manager, they probably hated to put you on one and they tried hard before this to get you to improve through informal and formal conversations, coaching, and other means. PIPs are not fun for either party so they are (hopefully!) a last-ditch attempt to retain someone in the role and avoid firing, and not used as a punishment. It should also have clearly defined goals that directly relate to your role that you could reach within a specific timeframe (usually 30 days). If you think you could honestly do better, and the terms of the PIP are fair, try your best to turn things around. Your manager should be meeting with you at least weekly to give you an idea of how you’re doing. Otherwise, if you’re underperforming for the expectations of your role and you don’t change anything, you’re just going to run into the same troubles at your next company.

If your manager sucks or you feel like you were unfairly PIP’d, then use this time to start applying to other jobs. Sometimes the needs of the job are unrealistic or your manager is toxic and you just need to get out.

If you are having mental health struggles you should have been diagnosed and asked HR for a reasonable accommodation way before you were placed on a PIP. Your likely only choices now is complete the PIP successfully or look for another job.

I would also use this as a time of reflection on why you were put on a PIP, what reasonable accommodations might have made you successful, and determine if the job and industry is a right fit for you.

Why can’t I go on disability if I legitimately am having mental health struggles bc of the pip and my toxic manager

Well you didn’t explain why you had to go on STD- like I said don’t do it if you don’t have a legitimate reason. If you’re having mental health issues that’s certainly a legitimate reason, but you will have to get medical documentation so be prepared for that. If your manager is toxic you need to work on getting out as soon as you can.

Hi, looking for some advice. I’ve been a medical assistant for 10 years, and am finishing up my bachelor’s in healthcare management.

The managing partner of my office likes to make jokes about Covid now that it is “over” (either in small group convos or speeches to the office). My dad died from Covid, and I honestly feel like it’s so insensitive for him to make these comments when he knows that I lost my dad to it. Our office isn’t that big, and I don’t think many people forget being told that someone they know lost someone from Covid. It has made me consider leaving because of it, but the economy isn’t great.

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
