About to be fired for the 5th time. No fucks given.

I was recently given a “PIP” (performance improvement plan) to either get up to speed or be let go by the end of the month, thus termination appears imminent.

I can't take my career seriously anymore, there's no point in becoming invested. The “job count” is almost a game at this point. Oh well, as long as I have cash flow and can maximize my paychecks.
