[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im a mid level manager at a fortune 100. I’ve been in performance management limbo/hell since February. I was prepared to be put on a PIP long ago, but they keep putting it off for whatever reason.  Meanwhile, I have zero scope and am doing the absolute BARE minimum to the point that it’s uncomfortable. It’s astonishing to me that I am still here. My guess is they will do it at year end, but I would love to leave before then. I just don’t want to leave for free unless I have to.

What will happen if I simply ask for an exit package? Of course that will reveal my cards that I don’t want to be here anymore, so they could simply say no and fire me. But will they?

Anyone in HR or have experience with this?

(I am happy to explain the back story of how we got here if interested, but didn’t want to make this too long). [/quote]

Lawyer here who has some experience in this space. I would stay on but start job hunting in earnest. I personally don’t think they would fire you for asking, especially with the mat leave background… but Finding another job at your level could take awhile. Take a look at your employee manual (probably posted somewhere online in your co apps) and it will tell you the general parameters for severance.

So why not keep the job cover and $ as long as you can? You may indeed be put on a PIP, and at that point you’ll have 60 or 90 days or whatever they choose.

Just to ask the question… Do you have any desire to stay? Do you have a manager to discuss this with? Is anyone trying to help you improve? [/quote]
