About to be either Fired or placed on PIP?

Hi all,

I have been working for about 5 years at several ad agencies. I started this discipline (Search Engine Marketing/PPC) after COVID, and moved to my current agency after looking for more pay and more to do.

I have not always "got" this job. There are specific nuances to it that are not easy for me to understand. I think I have some semblance of it but recently I had a week where I truly underperformed to the point of "regressing". I have made plenty of mistakes, but not enough where HR has had to step in.

This morning, after making several mistakes based on attention to detail this week, my direct Manager told me to skip our 1:1 so they could join my 1:1 with our team's manager. I think the writing is on the wall. I've had moments where I have really thrived here and moments where I have underperformed, due to either not comprehending and even a little carelessness on my part, depending on the mistake.

I hate signing on with a lump in my chest. I don't know if this discipline specifically is for me or if this is a universal issue that would follow me in another job/industry. I've had my resume together for a couple months now and have been casually applying, but I anticipate that I will be applying regularly and reaching out to any connections I have.

With all that said, I'm not entirely sure if I am going to be fired or PIP'd. Any general advice on how to handle this conversation, the immediate future, or strategy for pivoting would be extremely helpful.
