I got put on a PIP at my current job about 18 years ago by our psycho supervisor. I made it through my time and she was fired no long after that. Sucked mightily though.
Here is your cup of coffee. Brewed from the finest Colombian lighter fluid.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Jilli, for goodness sake. Can you do a msbelle and work elsewhere in the co.?

I wish I could work elsewhere in the co., especially since I know some of the behind-the-scenes gossip about what other people think of my boss. But writers and editors are her org, and that's not going to change unless something drastic happens. I can't really go to HR, because our business unit's HR rep was at the meeting this morning.

I'm going to contest the PIP, but I'm going to plan as if that won't make a difference.

Jilli, I'm sorry you are dealing with this. Best of luck to you.

The status is NOT quo.
I'm sorry to hear about the bad manager and stressful news, Jilli.
Teppy, I missed your Beep Me post earlier--so sorry! Lots of job-ma for you.
No word on CU, which means we won't hear until next week. Also found out today that kitty Seamus has diabetes and needs insulin shots. Five months' worth are going to cost $350. Hoping the pet insurance will cover some of this. Sigh. Poor Boo.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Jilli may your untrustworthy boss soon know the loss of your grace and talent due to your departure to a job where you will be much better appreciated.

I'm sorry. That is evil of them.
Much kitty~ma to Seamus.

Oh no, can't be angry at the CU for needing to take a few days to evaluate a business line of credit, especially after waiting nine months only to be rejected by BoA for something already paid off. Definitely not evil. I just want to know, of course.
