Look for a new job

likesmart

And don’t repeat the same style of working. Ask about the reason for the PIP and steps to avoid getting one.

Figure out why I’m on a pip, learn from it, and find a new job and start over. In big4 that pip will be a constant thundering cloud over you

likehelpful

Make it clear that you are taking the plan seriously and working towards its goals, and immediately start ramping up the job search. Even if you make it through the plans period, you don't want to stick around.

Find a new job. Low chances of getting off PIP.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Sounds like leaving is the best option. Resume is being worked on as I type this out.

Curious, how did you get on a pip and how does the notification process work?

Write down every time you complete something and make sure you have extensive notes. A lot of people don’t understand how important documenting your work is

like

Address the items in the plan so as to learn from them in the future.

Also dust off that resume. In my experience it’s a hard stigma to shake once on a PIP

like

Get a new job that pays materially more while earning a severance for a profitable exit (assuming the reasoning behind the PIP wasn’t in good faith, etc.)

smarthelpful

Focus energy on leaving, not beating the pip, especially since the market is hot. Don't get fired right away for totally dropping the ball, but don't think that pouring your soul into working extra hard is the right path forward.

Communicate well w the boss and meet the areas that you need to improve in.

Overly communicate what you're working on and what you've improved up regularly with the person who put you on PIP.

If someone puts you on PIP, they want you out and are just covering their own tracks. They already received a green light from HR to fire you, just need to do their due diligence.

Negotiate my buy out.

like

There is no negotiating a buyout. When put on a PIP, you will be given a choice of either working to satisfy the conditions of the PIP for the next 60 days, or be allowed to focus solely on your job hunt. If you choose the later, your employment record will show you simply resigned. If you attempt the PIP and are are not successful, the record will say you were let go. Since most PIPs end in termination, unless you are confident you want to stay and can meet all the requirements, I would choose the resignation option.

Anyone else kinda enjoying the wfh/lack of pressure to go out? I got a pay cut, I’m working harder than ever and things are uncertain but I can’t help but feel relieved to not be so emotionally drained. Maybe it’s because I’ve been doing a lot of emotional labor for others? 😬

Okay soooo I have an adult 8 year old Maltese. I have tried everything from Farmers dog to Caesar. Mixing wet and dry...putting toppers on. I kinda got him to eat out of my hand. But I have to put bland chicken on top just to get him to come near it. I have tried the leave food down for 20 minutes then pick it up....he just won't eat. I'm gonna try Pet Plate subscription to see if that works. Hopefully it does.

Any pet owners have any suggestions. I'm a newbie. I've only had my Ben since May.
