So I was told I’m the “only one” that hasn’t completed a specific task. The task was never officially assigned, not a due date given. What’s even better is I talked to my peers and 95% said they haven’t completed or started this task (that I’m the ONLY one that hasn’t completed as my manager said…)
Anyhow, they sent me a written email (the first official email in 1 year of direct communication I’ve ever gotten from this manager. I’m not exaggerating) outlining what is clearly a pre-PIP checklist including deadlines. This task suddenly became critical that I complete it before the end of the quarter (our Q4 aka layoff time)
However, nobody else was given a deadline for the same tasks. My numbers show I perform well, and above many on my team. So it’s just an “I don’t like you and want to replace you” situation.
There’s no legal ground here for me. I’m not a protected class or anything. So it’s just a shitty boss doing shitty things. Is my only option to just accept the pip, not do the work and bail asap? Is that all I can really do? Because I can’t beat the PIP.
I should note the ask is basically to give them every bit of my work and account information so they can drop someone into my seat when they push me out of it. So I’m hesitant to do any work when I know why they’re doing it. It’s not for me to succeed lol that’s obvious.
