IMO, not making waves isn’t a bad thing as long as you’re still getting your job done well. If you’re negative or always being carried by your team, that’s when the serious conversations start.

serious conversation -> PIP -> ongoing coaching -> decision at end of PIP

Also, I know people say PIPs are for the firm to cover its ass (and they are), but I’d much rather see a successful outcome to a PIP than a failed one. Trust me.

You’ll be given a PIP first, likely. That covers their bases to fire you later

If your worried about it, there might be a reason. If it’s not warranted you should publicize what you’re doing emails chats

Are you doing a good job? Or just skating by? If you are putting in all your effort and not meeting expectations then you need to address that with your lead. Either you don’t have the fundamental skills to do the work and/or you are not putting in enough effort. Part of this job is also showing up and doing it which is bulk of the success.

If you are fired at the end of a PIP (ie 30 day performance plan) what is the most common practice for severance? I know companies are not entitled to give you anything and especially if it’s a firing not a layoff.

Feeling so down right now…I spent months trying to get into a tech company. And when I finally got in, I was then laid off two months into the job. This past month, I applied to 300+ jobs and had 30+ interviews. None of them led to offers due to hiring freezes or internal hires. I just went through 10 interviews with a non-tech company and I don’t know if I will get an offer. I am just so tired of everything. If anyone knows of any PM roles (hardware/software), please let me know. YOE: 2

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

Hi Fishes,

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship. I get 3-4 requests a week from mutual contacts asking if I can connect with a former colleague (always broad). Typically the ask is a 30-45 min call. I’ve been laid off, I know how hard a time it is, but equally am working long hours, parenting and want to reserve time for those I know. How do others manage these extra calls into their weeks?
