My principal of my arch firm, told me he wanted to see me improve in the next two weeks, without constructive feedback. Instead of asking him, because supposedly he's so busy, I got rather encouraging advice from other people.
This all started because I had a UTI for a month, which has since been resolved, but it caught the attention of my principal, who now for whatever reason is telling me that I am underperforming. He says he'd give me two weeks before deciding to put me on a 2-week PIP (one week left).
I feel like I'm doing progress, but I've noticed suspicious activity from HR, putting me on training videos and giving me warnings for minor things such as putting sticky notes on my computer.
Just in case my hardwork is in vain, should I wait to start applying before they confirm they'll put me on a 2-week PIP? Or can I just rely on my side hustles as my safety net? They pay okay, but it's not consistent. Pretty much they pay me half of what I earn at my main job.
Should I get an employment lawyer right away? I only ask because I'm not sure whether they can offer me a service, unless I've been laid off, or started a PIP.
I'm in CYA atm.
