I know I'm getting fired ... how does one cope before they do it?

Question

I was told yesterday that I am being put on a "performance plan" and it may be 30 or 60 days. I know where I work this means you have 30 or 60 days before you get canned .. or as one of my team leaders put it, "before the axe falls". I have started putting out resumes, but I know I will eat c**p before I am let go. I am pretty nervous. I can't quit because I need the unemployment insurance checks. Has anyone else gone through this? How did you handle it?

Answer 1

Use any sick/vacation time you may have and look for another job.  Not sure what you mean by eating c**p, but if you are harrassed, you can file a complaint with the state labor board.

Answer 2

Most people who get put on a performance plan do so because they have screwed up a lot and this is their last chance to turn their work performance around.

I would suggest you do just that. Work on your performance and give them a reason to keep you on.

Good luck!

Answer 3

go and get another job and move on, if you got this one you will get another one.

Answer 4

tell them to hug a nut... get screwd go to h**l ...i was lookin for a job when i found this one... thank goodness im free...
