I started a new job 3 months ago. Agreed to a salary. When I began working, I was given about a week to learn everything. And then I was asked to take on some extras, such as event planning, marketing and such.
I just had my 3 month review last week. I got slapped with a performance improvement plan, and a pay cut. $200 less per month.
My duties are the same. Nothing has changed. I was told that I have to make improvements within 3 months. I was also told that I have already been improving significantly. But I still got a pay cut
Things I've been told to improve: keeping better track of clients notes and being a better team player.
My manager herself omits notes on a daily basis, and there are times that I have to add a note for her because she forgot to.
I'm feeling blind-sided and resentful. These people are friends outside of work too.
My first instinct is to start applying for jobs.
Am I overreacting?
