[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is op. This SUCKS. Im feeling defeated and depressed and imposter syndrome is eating me alive. The pip made no reference to a severance package and nothing was discussed about it. I think the posters who said it’s a 60 day runway and then they will talk to you about severance are wrong, I think this 60 day window is the severance period basically. [/quote]

I would be really surprised if there is no severance because the 3 months paid six months on website is market rate for large firms.  Maybe that drops off in the amlaw 100-200 range and maybe in the bottom of that amlaw 100 range.  Even my cheap firm with pay compression gave that severance.[/quote]

This. Also putting OP on a PIP means that they will expect SOME work to be done during those 60 days. While they are signaling loud & clear you won't have a long-term future at the firm, it's nothing like the 3 months paid severance/6 months on the website deal where no work will be done during that time frame.

Further, the 3 months severance is often paid biweekly like a normal paycheck. If you take a job at a competing firm immediately, then they stop paying you due to the conflict-of-interest (can't be paid by two firms at once). I know a number of Big Law associates who were laid off like this in the past year. [/quote]
