I've been at my job for 2 years now in Florida. I do everything my manager and general manager have ever ask me to do, without question. I offer to stay late, come in early. I offer to cover other accounts when people are out. I go above and beyond to show I can handle more. I keep to myself, I keep it professional.
I was given a promotion a few months back and was told I'd have to wait to move up to my new position until my current position was covered, I had no problem with waiting what I thought would be a week or two. That was my mistake.
Now I'm placed on a performance improvement plan due to a few minor mistakes that were caught in my work. I had a meeting with both my manager and GM and was told they no longer trust me because someone came to them and expressed concern over something that was said, and that my “work flow is suffering and not where it should be.” And they don't know how to feel about me moving up to a management position now. They are going to “review, discuss and bet back to me.”
I tried to explain but was met with the “not an excuse” and “we weren't present. We don't know what was really said and what wasn't said.” It spoke volume they did not believe me and seem to forget everything I've done for them in the past. I tried to explain that I would never jeopardize my job or the company, as I have expressed countless times how much I enjoyed working for them. They then told me “the negativity, the toxicity, the petty drama. We don't deal with that here. We have no place for it. Leave it at the door. If you have an issue with someone you tell us now. I don't want to hear about it later.” But my manager plays favorites and enables the drama and will deny everything.
I now have a meeting with HR and I'm sure they will let me go once this improvement plan is over, if they don't do it sooner.
I've applied for other jobs but I just keep getting rejection emails. I had one interview go very well but wasn't selected due to “asking for too much salary.”
I just don't know what to do, I literally live paycheck to paycheck. At the end of the day, I'm so defeated and tired. I just want to cry.
