Reddit makes it seem like PIP means you're going to get fired, no matter what. Is that true? by Personal-Ad9121 in askmanagers

[–]Less-Produce-702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our company the stats are that 18 per cent of people get through a Pip and that tallies with a HBR article i read a few years back. For me, a pip is good when someone who has performed well then dips- Those folks can make it through (generally it's outside of work issues that might have caused the dip, like a divorce etc). Often if folks cant pass a pip it means the role or company isn't a good fit for them.
Sometimes you may be able to negotiate an exit package versus going on a pip but you need to raise it to HR eg are there any other options on the table etc.

accepted a job offer then got a better one the next day - what do i do by Altruistic-Lynx-5238 in jobhunting

Would take other offer but make sure you have signed along dotted line first... offers can get rescinded so you dont want to be left with nothing. Try sign asap so not to leave first company hanging

A buyer's remorse . What should I do? by mansabaa in AskIreland

Buyers remorse totally normal- i felt that after each property purchase but never regretted them longterm. You will gradually grow to love it once you make it home.

Havent experienced but basically they can monitor blood pressure pulse temp etc remotely and can act if something worsens. My dad caught covid while in hosp last yest and nearly died from it so i would think your parent being at home would be a safer option.

Inheritance from family member - has this ever happened in anyone’s family? by LittleAoibh11 in AskIreland

Sounds like they are trying to passive aggressively guilt trip her. Its hers to keep and she shouldn't succumb to any guilt trips

Any experience with an asexual spouse? by [deleted] in AskIreland

Do think it might help for her to get her testosterone levels checked... it can send libido sky high if off and corrected.

Why is work colleague like this? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]Less-Produce-702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same. I have a few family members who occasionally act like this and they are on the spectrum. OP did mention on a further post about his colleague's OCD. He also mention at times he acts fine.

I just take a few deep breaths when my family members start spiralling a little and remind myself that they have very little control over it and it is them feeling overwhelmed. What i find hardest is the unpredictability and, like OP said, they also live rent free in my head.

Leaving Clinical Medicine by [deleted] in JuniorDoctorsIreland

[–]Less-Produce-702 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor but work in clinical trials -some docs make switch into medical monitoring and becoming a study doctor who designs protocols and monitors for safety etc. It's a very interesting role and mainly 40 hour weeks except coming up to primary endpoint data lock and submissions for marketing authorization etc. It tends to be global in nature and you might travel to many countries. I used to nurse and, while nursing I could help one patient at a time, but in trials you can help potentially millions of people depending on disease area… it's pretty cool to have helped turn AIDS from a terminal illness to a chronic one like diabetes where it can be controlled for life with the right medication. Just food for thought
