[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. This is what happened:

In the fall I got a positive year end review, then gave birth days later.

In the winter, while out on mat leave, my formal review was posted and it was negative, which usually results in a PIP. No explanation given. At this point I mentally prepared to leave.

I come back and was informed I’ll be put on a coaching plan, which is the precursor to a PIP. Then they told me nevermind. Meanwhile they’ve given me a totally BS scope, which I can see is their way to eventually fire me, most likely during the year end review process.

I would like more time to devote to my next opportunity — I’m doing very little, but enough that it’s a time suck to commute and sit on calls, etc.

I *know* they are ready to be rid of me. And I them.

I know Google recently sent an email saying essentially, if you’re not committed that’s fine, you can leave and here is the package you will get. Like voluntary layoffs essentially.

There is more to it than this, like weird stuff on my team and being treated terribly during my maternity leave, which makes me think they are keeping me here because they’re worried I’d sue or something. I have no idea, but there must be some reason I’m still here.

I know this sounds incredibly ballsy but I’m basically in a social experiment of how impossible it is to get fired from corporate America. Im beyond ready to cut the cord, but if there’s any chance I could get a severance package, I want one.

I think if I simply stay, I would get a PIP by late fall and be ousted with a package by winter. But I’d prefer to have that happen now so I can focus on my next venture guilt free. [/quote]

I mean if they gave you a great review and nothing changed except you went on mat leave, it sounds like they SHOULD be scarred and worried[/quote]
