I’m having a bit of anxiety about going back to work Tomorrow. I got placed on a 30 day notice PIP on 12/23 for taking unplanned PTO 3.5 hours to be exact. This was because I took an abandoned dog I found to a 4pm vet appointment.
I missed roughly 1.5 hours of work. 3 days later I took the dog across Houston to get her spayed and worked on my pc in the car during the appointment. I roughly missed 2 hours between driving and check-in/out.
All of my assignments were completed during the times I missed work with exception to items due in mid January. I have never missed a deadline. I also missed 1 day due to be sick in November but charged sick time.
I received a PIP(performance improvement plan) saying my consistent missing of hours during business hours has contributed to my subpar work. Citing my missed time sick in November and another time where I conversationally told my manager I also wasn’t feeling well when then said they were sick and going to take the day. However I worked that full day and can prove it.
This makes no sense. I’ve never been communicated that any of my work was anything less than good. In fact, I have now saved many screenshots, between my manager and myself saying I’ve been doing good work and have been exceeding expectations.
I think I know what’s going on though I’m supposed to get a sign on bonus paycheck after the 30 day PIP period because I’ll hit my 6 months. Pretty sure I got catfished for a sign on bonus. I’m now searching for a new job because obviously I think I’m getting fired.
