Well that’s nuts. I told my new friend to just follow the goals and objectives and she’ll be fine. I might have to contact her again and tell her to look for a new job smh
Here's a map of states where you'll run into those at-will / right-to-work problems:
Wanna guess who runs those state legislatures? This is crazy to me because OP has literally posted, "What do we ever get from voting for Democrats?" and then ran into it in real life.
), I found a new team that recognized my potential and fast tracked me into transitioning to an engineering role where the PIP wasn't as relevant. If it wasn't for that move into a new role, I probably wouldn't have stayed at the company long even if I got off the PIP but the role change helped I think, and I also excelled in the new role which just further validated me.
WowWhat everyone has mentioned is true. If you're on a PIP, you've already been chosen to let go so even if you stay, that PIP can follow you around and potentially hold you back at the company.
Looking back, I truly believed I survived mine because I was much more capable than my role really allowed as it was my first role in tech so I just needed space to prove what I could do and the PIP was the jump off. At the time, I was an analyst but was capable of engineering work so immediately after doing engineering work for the PIP (that I shouldn't have been able to do; was learning Eng work on the side
That said, the reason I was put on a PIP was some toxic stereotypical bullshyt that seems like it's straight out of the silicon valley show so that's why I didn't let the PIP shake my confidence in what I could do. I was just furious they tried to use me as the fall guy but I now understand, I was just a token with no support in that space and this is America so
Alaska is very surprising. Broke the pattern, wonder if they have a different work culture out thereHere's a map of states where you'll run into those at-will / right-to-work problems:

Nah its just being smart. Pips are mostly just to cover HRs ass when it comes to fair termination . Like ppl have said, once you’re on those lists you are pretty much marked for termination somewhere.
Did you actually do it to fire him or did he not pass the objectives?
Nah it is a general thing. My last job i got a PIP and it was petty bullshyt. I was going to transfer to another department (already had confirmation with the other manager) but said fukk it. In the end it worked out for me because i got a job with a extremely reduced workload and a normal working schedule. Went from working 50-60+ hours with some of them at night, to working 15-20 hours with the same pay. I should of left before that but i liked the people i worked with and got comfortable.
