I like most people. Agencies are just broken places with a lot of people who think they are doing really important shit. Once you realize it’s not that important and just a job, it’s a lot easier to tolerate.

I haven’t.

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.
