Got placed on a PIP? What now?

[RareHunter]

I'm married so ANY interaction with women is constrained to what is necessary to complete work-objectives. I don't discuss anything personal. If/when they try and 'dig' for info, I make some sarcastic response to their question:​

Female Office Clerk: Good Morning, DaFunk. What'd you and the wife get up to last night?​

Me: Not much. Trained a bunch of squirrels to break into people's houses. What was your address again?​

Female Office Clerk: ​

Dumb shyt like this enables me to never get write-ups and be considered 'friendly/valuable'. I HATE small-talk, but sarcasm allows me to say whatever I want (within reason) without getting personal and keeps non-work related conversations to a minimum.​

Lol thanks breh. You seem comfortable and commited to it. I bet that's why it works. Will definitely not give in next time.

Idk. Tbh it didn't warrant a PIP to me. If that's the case why'd Ii get a decent annual eval and raise just a month prior.

I had a bytch of a boss put me on a PIP despite getting promoted twice the previous year. She was literally my boss for 45 days, if that. They can make anything warrant a PIP if your boss doesn't like you, is trying to clear house, or some new agenda arises at work.

In my situation, they fired my previous boss and were looking to eliminate anything that had his stamp on it.

Fortunately for me, I was ready out the door.

Look for a new job. A PIP is a formality. You are about to get canned.

Can I still get unemployement if I find a side job. Do the plan and still get canned? I don't understand how I go from getting a raise and good annual evalutation, to placed on PIP because an email that is he say-she say.

1. Your work is airtight from now on. Above and beyond, no bs, no mistakes.

2. Apply for other positions and jobs like yesterday. Schedule at least 30 min everyday to apply to every other related job from now on.

Basically cover both sides (if they mean well then you'll be off it. If they don't you'll have options)

He who is with most options is most calm

What did you say that made her "uncomfortable"?

Yeah I forget if the PIP was 60 or 90 days but I was out after about 45 days.

White lady was a bytch, I couldn't believe HR signed off on that bullshyt all things considered.

One of the biggest things I've learned in corporate America is, it's absolutely necessary to have a good/great boss. If they suck and you're not ready to take their job, you need to be ready to find another job. My number 2 priority when taking any job now is, is my boss smart and will I learn anything? If it's no to one of those, chances are I won't take the job.

1. Your job outside of work now is to find a new job. That’s what a PIP means

2. if you find that you’re not able to find a new job, I’d quit closer to the end of the PIP if you can afford it. Looks like a better resume story especially right now with COVId “I had to deal with some issues”

That u got put on PIP or a phony worker STARTED a convo with u, said nothing of feeling uncomfortable, and then wrote an email to admin.

Still talk to cracker bytches in 2020 brehs

"You didn't help her"
"She felt threatened by a client"
TF this got to do with you? Fire back a counter response and take it as high as it needs to go.

OP you got two options. One get on the good foot and apply to jobs externally and get out of there. You can apply for internal jobs but that PIP will be on your record and may prevent you from transfering.

Option two would be stay. If you trying to stay them your shyt better shine. All your work must be on point and meet the goals they set to get you off the PIP. Also document everything and document it everyday. Cause often times companies use PIPs to fire folks during hard economical times so they don't have to pay unemployment.

 

[the bossman]

Usually once you're put on PIP this is their way of being able to legally fire you without recourse. At my company they do this to people they don't like. But you can't just fire someone you don't like because it could be an easy lawsuit. If revenue starts getting impacted because of corona you'll be option #1 for layoffs.

I'd just start looking for a new job instead of living in constant fear wondering if I'm doing good enough
