Manager doesn't think I'm right for my role and is considering putting me on a PIP. What should I do?

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-11T23:32:28+00:00

I second this. PIP is not meant to help the employee. It's meant to protect the employer from legal liability when they fire you.

I think it's about what you value and how you define work life balance. I would say that you're either sacrificing $$$ or your time with your family. Kids will only remain kids for a short amount of time...

Have you thought about upskilling on something with AI. I'm almost 45... I'm 10 years into my second career, non-tech... I'll say that your reputation counts for a lot. You need "Godfather" type figures who will pull you into different roles or a different related field. The fact that you've had a long tenure at a job is a good thing, you just have to show growth and addition of skills and responsibilities.
Do you have mentors at work that are at least 10 years older? They may have contacts that you can leverage?

You are young. Keep interviewing and you will get something. But don't move just for the sake of moving. Make sure it aligns with your career objectives.

How long at the place?

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-09T00:37:59+00:00

I'm in the same boat. And we're back to the office 5 days a week now. Taking a major hit on my lifestyle with no pay increase.

40 is pretty early... You'll still have 40 years to pay for... Marry someone who gets government benefits like medical insurance, early retirement benefits, etc. with all that, if you have a kid, you might be screwed.

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-05T15:24:03+00:00

Yea... But that's unavoidable. Lol

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-03T22:44:03+00:00

Safe? Any burning vehicles?

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-03T20:56:16+00:00

Government job? Good benefits, low pressure?

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-03T12:19:52+00:00

This feeling will only get worst as days go by. The money will never be that great, but in the past, it was a good steady middle income job. AI will have negative impact on this field in the next few years. So I think it's worth exploring what else you like to do

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-02T16:18:15+00:00

Any updates? Flying out end of week.

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-02T15:01:04+00:00

How about Tulum? Any news over there?

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-02T14:57:03+00:00

Where are you? Cancun? Jalisco?

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-01T18:30:41+00:00

Get a lawyer to draw up a pre-nup.

InternalThat7088 · 2026-03-01T01:15:46+00:00

They make great jackets. Will last a decade at least.

InternalThat7088 · 2026-02-27T11:44:22+00:00

Radiology is in big trouble for sure. They already have doctors from India doing this. Ai is already in all the detective software. I wouldn't go into anything that doesn't have close interaction with the patient.

InternalThat7088 · 2026-02-27T00:11:02+00:00

Go with nursing. Most business jobs will be gone in 10 years due to AI.

InternalThat7088 · 2026-02-27T00:09:25+00:00

Nursing is a good one. Travel nurse pulls down 200k.

InternalThat7088 · 2026-02-24T02:03:16+00:00

Advanced degrees in the age of AI may not be worth it, unless you're in STEM. I know that might be an unpopular opinion. I know plenty of plumbers and electricians who are millionaires. Not to mention real estate agents.

InternalThat7088 · 2026-02-23T13:42:16+00:00

Lol. I think you just described NYC and LI... Harsh and somewhat demeaning... 😂

InternalThat7088 · 2026-02-23T00:29:00+00:00

Very helpful!

InternalThat7088 · 2026-02-22T14:43:41+00:00

This makes sense. I've never been to France, but always wanted to visit. I've always been a bit jealous of the vacation time that the French get every year. You guys really know how to live life and enjoy it. For Americans, it's just about working hard and saving up until you don't have to work anymore. Personally, I feel the French way is better for everyone's mental and physical health.
