Got put on a PIP 3 months after I was hired, here's what happened
I started at this marketing agency in Chicago back in January and by April my manager pulled me into a room and handed me a performance improvement plan. I was totally caught off guard because nobody had said anything before that meeting, no warnings, no feedback, nothing. I asked what specifically I needed to fix and she said my "communication style" which was super vague, so I started sending her a recap email after every single meeting just to cover myself. Has anyone else dealt with a PIP that felt like it came out of nowhere? Did you end up staying or was it just a setup to push you out?
