I was heard. Then after i got another job and I was no longer there to hold up the weak links. The management finally used all my suggestions. They even created a new role to rewrite the the test codes for the quality control of which I hid all my work done on that that only needed engineer approved to tick the boxes. They used all my ideas and they got the bonuses. After working in that factory, I now understand why Australia doesn't make cars any more. The inefficiency of crappy leaders and management has an extraordinary cost to society. Grest job making these videos and educating 💪

I prefer someone who knows the workflow to become manager than a dirkhead outsider coming in who has no clue. The upper management has to be generous and appreciate that experience. Or hire a bulshit artist outsider manager that will cost a lot more in Los of production but will be always have an excuse to the lost production and still get their bonuses.

Thanks for sharing the video! I recently accepted a stepping stone role after being unemployed for over a year following a mass layoff. I asked ChatGPT about the minimum time I should stay before looking/leaving for more desirable roles or organizations, and it suggested staying at least 6 months, ideally 1 year, to avoid being labeled as a job hopper and draw red flags. I know this video emphasizes the importance of impact/accomplishments over duration, which makes sense, but I’m curious-do you have any thoughts on these baselines (6 months, 1 year, etc.) as the absolute minimum? I'd love to hear your take on balancing impact with tenure.
@CLWill15 күн бұрын
Sorry for the delayed reply, been traveling. I honestly don't think there's a minimum, if there's a good reason. If you get into a really lousy situation and realize it within weeks, there's nothing wrong with leaving asap. Just make sure you have a good, short, reason why it didn't work out. "I was shocked to discover a manager who was hostile and a culture that matched. For my own sanity, I left promptly." That's fine. That said, if you just left for $$ or you didn't stay long enough to accomplish anything, that's not great. You should have known the former, and should have at least stayed long enough to get something done. Hope this helps.

My boss put me on a two week "PIP" without ever giving me one on one meetings before, just out of the blue basing his performance review on feedback from senior techs, despite the fact that in almost a year and a half I only had maybe 3 escalations from customers and not serious ones, and basing it all on an oral exam I had taken with two senior techs that were overlooking the exam performance. Now, whenever they asked me to be on pager duty, I would gladly do it, now per company policy because of my "low performance" I am not able to pursue other positions within the company.

Make certain you are documenting everything. Take notes about every meeting you have. Communicate mostly in email and keep copies of those emails. If you talk to your manager or HR about it verbally, the second you get back, write down everything you can remember about the meeting. Dates, times, things said, and by whom. Write it all down and keep the copies on your own devices, at home. It won't necessarily help you not get put on a PIP but it will be gold if something happens that means you end up in court or arbitration.

A PIP means management has already decided to get rid of you, and are just going through the motions to cover their bases legally. It doesn’t matter how much you improve, they’ll find an excuse to dump you. And even if you do somehow manage to survive a PIP, your chances of ever moving up in the company are destroyed. Even if you attempt a lateral move, you will never be promoted.

Agreed. When I was 27 I had two dozen people working under me split about evenly between professional and clerical. I made a point to talk with each and every one of them daily, even if only briefly. My superiors said I was too friendly, and I should stay in my office more. But we never missed a deadline, had very few employee problems, and I could plan around those inescapable personal issues, like parenting, that can intefere with job performance. I also promoted quickly, which helped...

If your organization and manager let you slip into PIP land, they do not care and it is not worth trying to recover. The best thing is to work hard through the PIP phase with you boss, and in parallel find another job in another company. It is good to leave the company without the PIP left on your record, in case you have the fortune to return there in the future.

@CLWill Is a PIP appropriate for what does not seem to be performance issues and are actually instances you were seeking answers and clarity your boss was not able to provide? Can one be delegated excess unreasonable duties not with in their job scope?
@CLWill2 ай бұрын
A PIP might be used by the manager in that case because (from their point of view) the person is not performing as requested. It's a bit of a fib to say that, but it is not uncommon. WRT duties not on the job scope, unless you're under a very specific contract, what's in your job scope is what your manager deems it is.

I have faced counteroffers several times in my career and debated it at length. The likelihood of taking a compensation bump now to stay and later face a scenario of little to no comp increases because you have put yourself in a situation where you reach the top of your pay band or they just skip the next cycle because of your last pay increase is real. They also know that you caved and would prefer to stay when given a competing offer and after meeting your demands, they'll look to restore the balance.

I would say being a part of a protected class can at least mitigate the motivation for retaliation in this process. Lousy excuses can do for at-will, but once you have a protected characteristic, it becomes a lot easier to correlate any write-ups with discrimination. That being said, I don't ever employ this strategy. It is unwise. Just take a new job, leave, and thank them for your time.
