What im currently doing as my backup plan. Generally, ive been told a PIP is mostly a pre fire formality anyways. The company is nice, but the management in combination with a ton of issues sucks the life out of you.
I view these struggles like playing tug of war with an elephant. You are determined and become strong because of the fight. But inevitably you will never win. Its better to let go of the rope. When you do you'll realize exactly how strong you've become but even more importantly your hands are now free to utilize your new found strength in a more self empowering struggle. Good luck to you.
That's what im thinking honestly, whilst the company is nice and prestigious, ive come to the conclusion i would rather work for a small white owned company, over a humongous monolithic company. That and ive come to the realization i honestly dont care that much about work anymore, its a job, i get paid, and i do the work. However, i never want to be beholden to my job, so as to identify myself by what i am doing career wise.
This is why you're on a fucking performance improvement plan.
