Technically it was helping my dad with farm. Off the farm was landscaping. Followed by unloading trucks at Walmart, then Kroger deli slicing meat and frying chicken, then a gun shop, then armed security as a Pinkerton agent and now I’m an attorney at an insurance defense firm.

Hi 👋. I posted here a few weeks ago about being nervous conducting a PIP conversation with my team member.
I did it this week and let me just say it was the weirdest conversation ever. The guy is usually argumentative and tries to disprove every bit of feedback. But this time he just sat there and asked no questions and said nothing.
Maybe he’s looking for new jobs already - don’t mind this at all and this would be a good outcome for him overall.
