      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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

Today one of my coworkers just referred to my position as though I wasn’t there. The whole environment is like a shitty high school or trashy girls night out. My boss and coworkers all talk about gross s3xual things they want to do to fictional characters among other inappropriate topics. There’s a time and place for that and it’s not at work in front of customers. I have almost nothing to do during the day and no one speaks to me.

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Had group of senior shift mangers and team leader tell me politely to go home, after I was asked by one shift leader to just go straight to the office after a job ended and no more shift work was not available.
    I went straight home after 1 hour recieve a phone call from the shift leader where was I, and was asked just to go to the office 😮, as there was still work available.
    Should I challenge this? Or is this mistaken for too many chiefs decision making. 😢 I feel confused, misleading and gas lighted in some way.😮
    What happens next I have observe and wait. Nothing escalated yet as too soon. There has been other staff members challenge lateness. It was only a 1 minutes late when I must allow 15 minute. 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. I'm in a 80 hour contact in the UK which legal matters are different to the US. I had a few shift in management behaviour where I was faviour one minute and down graded the next due to performance.

    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.

For two years I’ve been working at a job where the level of stress and hostility has made me sick. I have never received reviews, verbal suggestions, nothing…Yet, I get the PIP plan. I’m telling you, this shady, so-called Christian company is going to have to fire me before they make me quit. Worst job, worst company I’ve ever worked at. And believe me, they will get the bare minimum until I do.

    Way to many jobs out there to worry about getting fired. Remember that past employers cant state you got fired. So technically you can place them on your resume with out worrying about your past employer stating you got fired. You can also make up responsibilities you had , B.S. like they did on your experience level and B.S. on the number of years you worked there. That will put you at a higher income level. Most employers don't even call your past employers. It's all about selling yourself. Getting fired gets you practice at it and increases your pay. Lost count how many jobs i had , but way over six figures a year. If I kept the same job 15+ years ago wouldn't making half of what I'm making now.
