This feels so unbelievably confusing to me.
I started this new sales job a few weeks ago. My first week was all shadowing and training. I started knocking (it's door to door) the Friday of my first week. I got one lead that day. The next week the goal set for me was 2 leads for the whole week, technically 2 leads for the whole pay period.
I got 4 leads that week on top of the 1 I got the previous Friday. Almost everyone else on my team capped out at 3 leads total except for one guy who got 7.
I came into work this morning. My boss sat the whole team down and explained that none of except for myself and the guy that got 7 were hitting their goals so they were all being written up. She made a point out of commenting on how great I'm doing.
Then at the end of the meeting, she handed me a paper saying I was on a PIP for Productivity. Today started my first pay period out of training and I hit my daily goal early. I don't understand why I'm on a PIP.
Everywhere I've ever worked a PIP happens when you've gotten a verbal and then a written warning. It's what happens when you consistently fail to hit your mark. I haven't done that. She even went out of her way to comment on how consistent I am as she was handing it to me, saying it's “to keep you on your goals.”
Is this normal?
