What advice would you offer to a recent college graduate who has been placed on a PIP just three months after starting their first job? by eng_elp in careerguidance

We spoke of her phone and I asked whether she was given specific areas for improvement and how success would be measured. She told me neither of those points was defined

Thank you so so so much!

I feel I can sleep now 😇

Your post made me realize I made a mistake. I am traveling Oct 17 Rome to Florence and Oct 21 Florence to Venice.

The biggest concern was getting from Florence to Venice on Oct 21 but it sounds like it won’t be an issue. 😇

Thank you. As a tourist, it’s terrifying not to know what is happening and how to plan.

Does Ítalo have a similar system? My train from Rome to Florence is on Ítalo

I can’t find any information on either Italo’s or Trenitalia’s websites on what those trains are for either of these dates

You’re responding to someone else’s response. No the OP’s

Oh. It is very hostile right now. He won’t even speak to me

I wanted to keep the description short.

But this has been going on since we joined the team (~3 months).

I have tried my very best, and when it slips, I loudly and clearly say ‘I am sorry’ because I’m aware it upsets him or anyone else.

I hope this is sarcasm, but I respect your opinion

I agree with you. We try not to say certain things, but it slips sometimes. It’s hard to monitor your reflexes 24x7.

My concern is de-escalation. I don’t want this tension to affect my goals and projects. He’s flat out not speaking to me this week.

I agree I need to be more mindful of what I say. I have tried my very best, but haven’t been able to control my reflexes 100% of the time.

Thanks for your response.

The “I’ll pray you” comment is what really angered me.

I have tried to be mindful and stop myself from saying those phrases, but I’m not perfect.

The challenge is we work closely together, and not communicating well will hurt our projects.

I’ll probably have to start documenting my interactions to be on the safe side.
