Why place yourself on PIP? Won’t you get a bad rep?

I tendered the moment I heard that. But even before you get tagged with a PIP, people will already know.

Also, a lot of hiring managers these days that I spoke to, even those former auditors themselves, actively avoid hiring ex-auditors so it really dawned on me that there's no point in staying that long. I don't know why Sinkies have such a bad case of pulling up the ladder after them, maybe to cut cost and reduce competition so that they look good?

I've been there before and honestly, any attempts at catching up means you won't even have the time to do your laundry on the weekends.

Worse, you'd probably get a huge mental block because your brain is still instinctively sane and will refuse to rationalize sacrificing 100% of your free time for a job that is causing you health issues. Then the outstanding work snowballs and you'll completely break.

If you need to support your parents or something, just get a part time job to sustain them or use your savings while you find a proper job. Money can always be earned back throughout your lifetime but you will never get back your health once you lose bits and pieces of them past your mid 20s.

Not sure which firm you are from but I was told I'd be on a PIP where they could fire me without needing to complete the 1 month notice period and I could be placed on a PIP anytime during the year. So technically they can ask you to leave immediately.

Good luck.

They can force you to leave without respecting the one month notice??
