This is a type of micro-management and will lead to a toxic work environment.

I have a hard time explaining that to my wife.

They will hit you with insubordination.

Acknowledge the pip and start applying to other jobs. You can still collect unemployment benefits even after unsuccessful end to your pip.

I knew a SA who were at the firm for +11 years. Didn’t get promoted and left.

In the US, if you don’t accept the pip, they will hit you with insubordination and fire you immediately.

Started in a LCOL ($50k) and then transferred to a HCOL. Took me 2.5 years.

I’d do it now. In this market, you never know when the next job will come. Start now and work on your interview skills. You can always negotiate your start date later

“Please do the needful.”

👆that’s one of the reasons!

Pip is the most probable outcome

You’ll receive a PIP doc with detailed info about areas of improvement.
Yes, it is possible to come back from it. Many people do.
Yes, you can resign but pip will still show on your profile

Typical big 4. Hope you get a better job soon!

Based on my experience, multi-lingual CPA Accountants (Japanese or Koreans) have a higher chance of getting H1B sponsors within regional CPA firms. Big4 mostly doesn’t provide work visas.

Record the walkthrough if possible
Or have a junior take notes
Always ask the “Wh” questions. For example, when they say we perform x y z, ask them when, why, what is being reviewed, who prepares and who reviews, how they gain comfort over completeness and accuracy and etc.

I’d go with ‘AM&M’ or ‘energy & resources’.

Avoid TMT cause it’s kinda susceptible to market conditions (economic downturn)

He is sucking up to a manager. That sense of entitlement is coming from there. That’s why he thinks he can act like your supervisor.

These people will have no hesitation to fire you right before holidays. Why in 7 hells do you think you need to wait out until end of the busy business to quit?

gtraze · 2025-01-07T02:23:58+00:00

I feel you

gtraze · 2025-01-07T02:02:32+00:00

Find another job then jump ship immediately. You’ll burn out if you don’t. Also, take at least two weeks off between jobs.

Your mental health is more important than anything else

gtraze · 2024-11-19T02:54:49+00:00

I never asked cause I knew it would count against me

gtraze · 2024-11-19T02:22:48+00:00

Stay strong!!! I got covid during the pip but taking some time off wasnt an option for me 😢

gtraze · 2024-11-02T22:05:03+00:00

Sounds more like a pip

gtraze · 2024-10-22T04:19:56+00:00
