These 10 rules hit different when you’ve actually lived them.
Especially #3, #4 and #9.
Learned the hard way that excellence alone doesn’t protect you. Sometimes the biggest threat to your position isn’t your performance ,it’s someone else’s insecurity.
Anyone else feel like these rules should be taught in school?
Vivo en Canadá hace 6 años y cada vez que vuelvo a Argentina me choca ver los autos en la calle. Acá es rarísimo ver algo de más de 10 años, la gente renueva seguido y los precios son accesibles en relación al sueldo. Yo mismo tengo un Subaru Outback 2023 Touring y un Volvo XC40 2020 T5 Inscription, algo impensable con un sueldo promedio en Argentina.
En Argentina, incluso en Buenos Aires, seguís viendo Peugeot 206, Ford Ka, Gol… autos que acá directamente no existen más.
Un 0km en Canadá te sale unos 6-8 sueldos netos promedio. En Argentina puede ser 15 o más. Es imposible competir con eso.
¿Ven salida a esto o vamos a seguir siendo el museo rodante de Latinoamérica?
I’m feeling completely blindsided right now. Just last month I was a key member of the team that helped us close a $5M USD contract — a huge win for the company. On top of that, I received excellent feedback from all my peers.
Yet right after this success, my boss placed me on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). I’m really struggling to understand how this makes sense and I’m looking for advice on how to handle it.
The only thing I can think of is that I have a poor relationship with one close coworker. He’s often mean to me, and the other day I finally told him to never talk to me like that again. He’s very close to our supervisor and has been at the company longer than I have. I’m wondering if this could be connected to the PIP.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation where you delivered strong results but still got put on a PIP? What did you do? Should I fight it, start looking for another job, or try to work through the PIP?
Any insight or advice would be really appreciated.
