[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is she on a PIP?[/quote]

No, but they’ve been increasingly hostile to her in recent weeks/months (she is a junior person working with senior leaders).  [/quote]

So, these grown ups are passive-aggressively treating a jr. level person and she's supposed to 'get it'. GTHOH[/quote]

They are all grown ups. It's a tough out there, this is how jr level people develop a thicker skin and learn from mistakes.[/quote]

Well, it depends—I think a place with a decent work culture would be trying to course correct and errors would have been discussed with them prior to a decision like this.  Wonder what the deal is with OP’s friend.

I would hope, if it were me, people would be honest with me.  It’s not kind to keep people wondering what happened, but at the end of the day, the incentives for any organization is to keep people in the dark to avoid exposure. No employee is worth a certain amount of trouble.

I’m going through a stressful situation at work and it’s kind of a test.  It will go one way or the other, and I won’t take it personally.[/quote]

These things are often blessings in disguise when you are young. The industry is a bad fit, the job, etc. You can't make square pegs fit in round holes.[/quote]

Right, but I’m not young.  Unless 40+ is young now?  Wonder if the OP’s friend is young?  They just said “junior”.  Also, it sounds like it’s not just a layoff/reorg— “terminated” sounds like it’s for cause.[/quote]
