[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am just surprised by how many people here we’re fired give no acknowledgment of any short coming.

It’s not easy to fire somebody in corporate America. You have to show a pattern of giving feedback and them not responding to it. I have fired handful of people in my career and what distinguishes them from everybody else is low, self awareness.[/quote]

Maybe in your world. In the real world you just get canned. I have been canned three time.

1) April after receiving 120k bonus, notice and high rating and raise  in March. Given 11 months severance. Plus 100k accelerated vesting. 
2) Feb after getting 120k bonus notification but before March Review. Previous year rating pretty good. 60k severance 
3) Feb after getting Raise in January no bonus but 60k severance. Never got a review as less than one year.

My current company raises and bonus come out in May. In April we will lay-off everyone with no review shared we want to get rid of.

All four companies only give good reviews and reviews are annual. We never put anything bad in writing.

I was on layoff Committee once we picked 10 percent of company in a one time verbal VP and up meeting. I did not see any reviews. HR and security let them go at start of day.

PIPs are dumb. Either they perform or not.

In all my cases they let me go no reason, made me sign agreement to get checks and waive right to sue.

First job I was way overpaid what I did. My second job they replaced me with a complete idiot at higher pay they hired two people to help her do her job. All politics. Third job I was goofing off as I thought underpaid and was spending 2/3rds my day job hunting.

Feedback is useless personal opinion. Just give me my check and and let me go.
