This happened to me! After more than 20 years of working for a large, well-known nonprofit, I was suddenly deemed “incompetent” to perform my job. Management then declared that I would need to be completely re-trained as though I was a brand-new employee. They even changed my job title to “[Company Name] Trainee.” Clearly, they thought that that I was no longer useful to the company (and quite possibly, too expensive, as I was one of the highest-paid workers in my department, owing to my seniority), so they were basically forcing me out the door. I guess they figured they’d save a lot of money by getting rid of me this way instead of directly firing me and thus having to pay severance and unemployment. And their strategy worked: After about 6-8 weeks of this misery and humiliation, I had had enough and emailed my resignation to the relevant people. I just couldn’t take it anymore, as I felt that I was in a living nightmare. The day after I resigned, I started getting DM’s and texts from some of my work friends. They told me that they-and everyone else at the company-had received an email stating that I was “no longer employed by [Company Name].” So the company clearly wanted people to think that I had been fired. Typical. I’ve never regretted leaving, as this workplace had, over time, gradually become a miserable and toxic environment. And it has only become worse since I left, from everything I’ve heard. But I AM bitter about the fact that I put in so many years of my life into working there, and yet will not be able to claim my full pension and retirement benefits. Even so, my life has improved significantly in the eight years since leaving that company. I now do work that I enjoy, and (significantly!) I don’t wake up every morning dreading the day ahead of me, as had been the case at the nonprofit. So I definitely made the right decision all those years ago.

I got fired then opened my own business and never and will never looked back

Hey its better to know it's coming then get a little suprize

PIP is is a clear red flag that one is about to be separated from organization! I was a victim of PIP! I was given target, impossible to accomplish while being under PIP! This manager took me to a room, explained me how PIP works, says "PIP is just a formality" and I was very dumb to believe him! He clearly had issues with me, I was a "Black Sheep" and a "No employee" he took this to his ego and did almost everything to get rid of me, when he couldn't find a reason to terminate me, he issued PIP. And since these impossible targets were not achieved during PIP, I gave these cowards a reason to get rid of me, there you have it, for months it was next to impossible to get rid of me and within few days he was successful in his dirty tactics! Threatened me by saying that either I resign or be ready to get fired! In India, our government doesn't cares, there are no labour laws to protect us, hence I would say PIP is a mere hoax to get rid of employees who say "No" refuse to be a Yes Employee! I was indeed a victim of dirty politics and PIP was used to get rid of me because they couldn't find a reason other than that!

You hit the nail on the head. The real clear 2 are changing job responsibilities, going backwards in responsibilities; the other is a clear change in their attitudes towards you especially if you been there a number of years. When this stuff starts to happen you really don't believe it, yet you've seen them do this to others.

More signs: (1) Employer will hire your replacement (or a contractor) that you need to train.... or they'll move an existing employee to work with you on tasks you normally perform. They do this under the guise of giving you a helper that reports to you. (2) One of your co-workers accidentally becomes aware of your pending doom, and tells you about it (because they are more loyal to you than the management or HR team) (3) Your company is already laying off or firing other coworkers in bulk for "non-reasons". (4) Your company just merged or was bought by another company. (lay offs coming) (5) Your manager starts addressing you in more formal language (using the moniker Mr. and Mrs. + your last name). No more nick names used, no more joking around, or no more slang or potentially offensive words used. (6) They start asking you to create far more and extra detailed documentation of all of your tasks and responsibilities.

This is happening to me now. I’ve noticed my supervisor and manager don’t really speak to me or meet with me when they have meetings with everyone else. I hear changes at work from other workers and not my supervisor and my opinion or advice isn’t taken. I also just got asked if I need training on my tasks despite having been doing these for a year now. I’ve also seen my schedule is changed to an unfavorable one, almost like I’m being isolated or singled out. I’m so bummed out because I actually like this job so much. And I get paid a decent wage. I’m on the verge of tears

As a manager this is the usual corporate thing. I won two performere awards delivered by the company but got a negative evaluation anyway. I then got into an Executive education program at an Ivy League school and got a PIP that said I wasnt interested in improving myself.

Just played a trump card…filed FMLA paperwork. Didn’t ask, but told. Now job is in a protected class as I look to replace it. Best part is I turned in the paperwork the same day I got the (completely unexpected) PIP and the Dr had already signed it.

I was put on a 6 week PIP last year in January. They listed all my mistakes which majority of them were petty, and 2 were blatantly discriminatory and grounds for lawsuit. The worst part was we had a 1 month layoff for winter break and they pulled me aside 1 week after we came back from break. If they didn't want me there, they should have told me my job was done when we wrapped up for Christmas. It was a boat yard that services and sell boats. Now I'm now at a much better boat yard and I've been there for a year and i get along with everyone.

Being fired can be one of the best things to happen. There is a lot of opportunity out there. The sooner you know, the better. You can then start looking for a new job, and resign without having them fire you. Exception: if your termination is likely illegal, you don't want to resign voluntarily.

I work really hard and get positive comments from customers yet I get negative unsatisfactory reviews. Leadership doesn't respond to my questions as well as others. Almost as if I'm left to dust. Just one or two more signs and I'm quitting. The toxicity is not worth it.

Had all these tricks pulled on me. The bastards had to hire three inexperienced people to handle my former workload. I was better off in the long run. Screw them.

-End of year 2021 review: some issues, but making some steps in the right direction, set some targets. -Get new manager in April -All year, pushed harder than ever, doing tasks for the first time, develop new skills, am a better engineer at the end of 2022 than I was at end of 2021. -End of year 2022 review: given a worse score than previous, and am put on a PIP No real secret there. Thankfully, I was able to find another position by the end of the PIP, and left on my own terms.

A high level manager in my family informed me that another way organizations fire employees is by giving certain employees a ‘meeting expectations’ review. I then asked him “ why is it so popular for organizations to do this, it seems as if managers are told not to give employees an ‘exceeding expectations’ review.” He stated “ you’re correct, in fact, before we begin the reviewing process, we’ll meet with upper management to discuss our reviews prior to announcing them. When I’ve tried in the past to give them, the panel would’ve asked, “what has this employee done?” Then they’ll say “ well, that doesn’t sound like a meeting expectations to us.” He went on to explain that one employee even screamed “ what do I have to do to get an ‘exceeding expectations’ review because that’s money I’m not getting on my raise, and I’m trying extremely hard to meet that standard?” This creates friction and is often used as a way to fire employees through PIP’s or some employees just quit which is what the company wanted in the beginning.

So if all this paperwork is in place and it's a known fact that it's there to serve the purpose of firing a good employee who has been marked as a bad employee. Why haven't the courts done anything about it in being fair to employees? The write and reprimands coming out of the blue is happening to me and not only has it created a mental health issue for my self but the confidence in my work has decreased to because the anxiety of misspelling a wrong word could cause the whole world to come crashing down at my work.

I heard someone say if you’re ever given a PIP then it’s time for you to start a POOP (Pursue other opportunities plan).

Unless you're in Vegas and your job is fast food and you just started. These people fire you for being late once since there is a 90 day probation period and then you need 6 months there to even be eligible for unemployment at all. So basically they take you off the schedule right before the third or sixth month and there is nothing you can do, you're basically just fired at that point. If you live in Vegas and you are ever removed from the schedule without notice, just start looking for a new job right then and there, don't wait for a talk, don't wait for a phone call, an email, a meeting, just start looking for a new job.

I got fired once… When I was 19 from Toys “R” Us. For the 40 years until I retired, I was never laid off. I could be very critical of management, but they had to keep me because I was an expert in one of the systems. I finally fired the company when they threatened to put me on a performance improvement plan and have been retired ever since.

My boss and coworkers all talk about gross s3xual things they want to do to fictional characters among other inappropriate topics.

@@GainsGoblin Sure. It’s when managers are suddenly kinder / nicer to staff, after previously having been on the abusive side, and when there’s no rational/obvious reason for the change. It can just be things like saying hello, or asking how you’re doing, or talking about vacation / weather etc., when this was previously hardly the case (it may not be about praising your work, as this could be used against the employer if suing it for wrongful termination). It’s to get you ready for slaughter, also maybe to lead you to take down your guard, possibly even entice you to say something casual, unfavorable to you, so that the subsequent strike may thought to be easier or easier embedded/supported. It’s the cloak in the dagger, poison in the sweet, friendly invitation before being clobbered, praise before a dig at someone. Or also instituting a Performance Improvement Plan, and saying it’s for your good, a chance to improve or prove yourself and clear up any misperception, or just a formality etc. Or a detective, who just wants to talk to you for a couple minutes / hear your side, while actually being totally intent on indicting you, and just seeking any additional information he/she can get to beef up his/her case. A lesser form but the same mechanism is where managers / co-workers are sweet-talking you, charming you, followed by “oh Mr./Mrs” (or whatever), by the way could you please (just) do this/that or check this/that. It may just be a basic psychological trait of people, rather than a particular strategy. It’s the same as in , when viewing an apartment for rent/sale, and you’re not intending to take it, you start saying a few niceties, usually more towards the end of the apartment tour, like nicely renovated, nice view, just to make your extraction from it easier and lessen the disappointment of the landlord/owner. Same in job interviews - when there’s all sorts of side niceties at the end, talking about current sports or whatever, it can be a clear indicator that you’re not getting the job, or that you’re not inclined, and setting the ground for a softer way out. If the employer is serious about you or vice-versa, it/you will act serious and inform you/it properly, and not spend time or give things away with over the top niceties. Both sides mean business, and not small talk. And if you’re planning on getting a divorce, you might feel inclined to still go for that final romantic twosome dinner etc. before breaking the harsh news to your (soon ex) best half. Not sure if these examples are helpful, but I can try to think of more.

Hey get your resume up-to-date. Corporations don't owe you anything, so you are your own employer. Do you do more than expected in your job, are you mentoring others, and asking for feedback? Are you thanking others for helping you finish a task, a report, a collaboration, etc. Always thank others for helping you. It builds trust and they will go out of their way to help you later. Document your work, ask for feedback from your Supervisor and ASK for work. What I did as a Supervisor, (now retired) was preach to my team was the four Cs: Communication, Collaboration, Cooperation, and Coordination. No one can take shots at you if you do these four things and of course, document your work.

Just lost my job today. They out of the blue called me to a meeting and set me up with a meeting with HR. Then I was given two options pip or severance. Obviously the writing was on the wall at that point. They were basically saying take the severance and save us the time of going through a pip that you will fail anyways.

if you want to fire your employee at least be a man about it, take responsibility. and tell the truth! don't fire the person and let him/her think that something is wrong with them and they are not good enough.

If a person gets reassigned to an unfavorable assignment then proves themselves beyond any doubt, then the company sees how good you are and keeps driving you hard I have found that it can lead to lower opportunities as you have to keep the high rate of performance. The company sees it like it’s a great opportunity but your stuck with this bad situation. It seems like to overcome it you have to work yourself out of a job eventually so you can get another assignment or make the current role into something you can live with.

Worked myself into mental health issues doing that. Burnout

I got blindsided by a "formal coaching" 2 weeks ago from my sr. director, with the written notes shared with HR. I'm middle sr. management and was taken aback by the allegations in the document provided. They immediately reassigned one of my teams to a peer, while I still retain 2 direct reports, and reassigned some of my direct deliverables/responsibilities. This isn't good given my peers have 5-6 directs or 2-3 directs and 1-2 teams under them - writing is on the wall. During calibrations this week, HR was very explicit with managers and directors that employees cannot receive a PIP prior to being calibrated as Needs Improvement. This is likely why I got the "formal coaching" rather than immediate PIP. I have a written response to each allegation in the document. Based on the impossible "special assignment" that my sr. director and I continuing to discuss as expectations - next week will be 3rd week with no clear deliverables of working out of this hole - I'm curious if I should provide written documentation answering each allegation for memorialization or leave it be and move along.

Small thing matters now.😮 Over heard conversation another staff member is in process or planned for sacking for doing work and a case and testimony. Note the available of hour are becoming limited.

Is PIP only applicable in a corporate company with proper structure and procedures? The company I work at is a weird mix of publicly traded company which operates like a family owned business. Will they use a PIP?

Would getting assigned a mentor be anitje sign if being fired soon?

So true!!!

I was never put on a PIP, but from my experience as a computer programmer, employers can dole out projects that are so open-ended and undefined that they either don't exist, so they can't be done, or they would require deep business analysis which a programmer can't do because that would require an MBA or other Master's Degree to figure out.

What do you do as a job?

I got fired for no reason today. One big thing was that my supervisor was irrationally taking away tasks. I actually did very well and had great performance. On my last day, I had shown frustration and disappointment at the actions of others, one being that they committed forgery and got the company in trouble. But me being against forgery I guess was not a good look.

I got fired today because the boss said i got to work late and i explained to him that i had a important family emergency then 90 days went by and i was supposed to get my raise the boss tells me he will speak to me about it next week and he tells me that he has alot of work to be done in the company and that iv been late all last week which was only when i had a family emergency once because my mother was in the hospital he gave me a check and let me go he said i don't deserve a raise and fired me on the spot after work was over

Shalom! I am currently going thru this right now. One manager has already contacted Human Resources about me. I was recently given a consultation over something petty; the manager said she has been talking to Human Resources and will begin documenting my actions at work. She and another manager issued me a PIP. I maybe on my way out.

I have a question. The manager that had a recent meeting with me tried to say that she contacted Human Resources about me and had my immediate manager put on a PIP in order to correct me and make me a better leader. My question what is she really saying?

I worked at Kroger‘s. They fired me yesterday. I was 57 days into my employment. You’re in the union after 60 days. I was not given any written notice whatsoever. They told me I was too slow. I named some employees that were slower than I. They agreed with me, but my boss told me they were in the union and harder to get rid of. I have that in a text message. I suggested to them that they time me. They did that. I made goal every time. They timed me approximately 5 to 6 times. They still fired me. I’m the only person of color on 3rd Shift but I don’t feel them firing me was racially motivated. I feel I was a scapegoat to larger issues that they have. They only allow 64 hours in the department that I was working. That Hass to be split between two employees. My boss said that’s not enough hours to get done what they needed to get done.so instead of fighting for more hours or to get another employee, they blame the new guy.

Get a lawyer, I’m not a lawyer but seriously talk to someone, good luck and I’m sorry you’re dealing with this bs

True. In similar way one can see that friendship or relation/marriage is going to be severely shaken. Flag nr.1 is usually enough.

THIS IS ACCURATE

How was directed to stop communicating via email and only use the phone. When I continue to use email I was advised that email was not the appropriate way to handle the situation

It is because they did not want the written evidence. Lol.

I was caught smoking a cigarette in the bathroom at McDonald's it my second write up and was sent home but my boss mention to the other employer about termination could someone answer thus I'm scared and will be back to work on Sunday

Do you have to sign anything? I think if I do its a death sentence.

The negativity performance review Was definitely a warning sign for me, Because i'm notice Every time I did something that everybody else does I would get Reprimanded letter for it, For instance Many people are known to fall asleep at work Especially if you're already done with your task for the day ahead of schedule, But suddenly when I Also fell asleep I got in trouble for it, No matter what I did Even if Are the employees have been doing it for years, They wouldn't get in trouble, but yet I would, That was definitely a Warning sign for me That's because i've been working for the city for more than 21 years Of my lifetime.

I felt so deceived by my last employer. My immediate supervisor didn't even get to my performance eval this year, which was due Feb. 21. I was fired April 5. My supervisor had another supervisor talk to me before our biannual audit to give me suggestions and she assured me that I wasn't in trouble. They were just giving helpful suggestions. Then my executive director made a comment about how things were getting better so I thought everything was OK. Two days later, I was fired. I think that my boss was also going through burnout. I was too. She told me, "Aww. I feel sorry your feeling burned our." First of all, if you felt that I was doing poorly, complete my performance eval on time and discuss it with me and 2nd....be honest, don't deceive me, and lastly, you have the right to feel burned out, but I can't?!! Messed up!!

I won’t have my job in April that’s for sure. We used to talk via WhatsApp, now it’s strictly emails, and my WhatsApp messages are blue ticked or reacted on. Our weekly meetings were cancelled, and zero work is given to me, almost to make me look lazy. Next thing I’m being asked about the how much work I’ve done so far and how many hours have I put into my job. Oh and an email requesting an adjustment to my contract… smells like unemployment to me. 😢

4 Signs You're Getting Fired: 1. The executives didn't get the stock price up enough for the investors so they've go to reduce expenses. 2. Your boss didn't meet his goals - so you go under the bus. 3. The boss's nephew needs a job 4. It's cheaper to do business in China and Mexico

On the other hand, it is better to be fired than to remain in toxic working environment. Eventually it will cost You financially more bcs of health isdues than by mere losing finsncial source.

Or not communicating with you at all; you can tell by how the rest of staff acts with you on a daily basis!! Yeah they started monitoring my clock in. Several of the incidents happened to me

Very accurate

I just got wrongfully terminated, and sadly, they let me go because of a false accusation I got from other employees that I don't get along with. Yet with the investigation being on they didn't give me Sympathy but instead chose to terminate me. 😢 Plus I also suffer from speech impediment, loss of hearing and loss of vision, yet they didnt see that and have brush me off. Plus they even judged me for the way they dress and the way how I talk.

People are monsters

Is better to work for yourself then to work for someone else. Instead of playing this mind game.

This is exactly what happened to me 😢

Bottom line: if sales are decreasing, they're eyeing your salary as a way of recouping money. It doesn't matter if you're the most knowledgeable person on staff. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how much time and energy you put into doing your job and doing it well. If a boss loudly proclaims "everyone is replaceable", especially if they're saying it in a tone like they specifically want YOU to hear it, then that's your sign.

What no two week notice to you when you are getting fired??? For forever, most companies want a two week notice when you decide to leave, but they can tell you to hit the door right then, right there. I have seen the games played many times, that's why I became self-employed.

In Canada, if you are fired without prejudice, the company has to pay you 2 weeks for no notice, vacation pay, and you get EI.

5th sign: You complain to the manager

Can't get fired if you weren't employed in the first place can you?

First one, 100%

My boss got hostile towards me and I didn't get fired
