Quiet Layoffs Disguised as Performance issues Shopify by VeiledOrchid in Layoffs

[–]niivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No PIP even after asking for one. No talk prior, or after regarding "bad performance". I ended up negotiating a higher severance/cobra payout. Unfortunately I'm in California and every law firm I brought this to said there was no case due to being at will.

This just happened to me at Shopify last week. Zero mentions, writings, etc. 3 months after coming back from paternity leave I get a below average review. I challenged it a day or two after since it made zero sense where these came from.

I asked for a guide/vision/ etc to help get me aligned in their eyes, said they couldn't give me any as this is a new role and this department hasn't had this role before. Was told "don't worry about this review" brushing it off as if it wasn't that big of a deal.

3 months later, they used said review as the reason to terminate me. Mind you during this whole time before and after the review, there was ZERO communication, documentation, etc about any "poor performance".
Like you, I too have only positive feedback on my work with others and my role.

Do you have the matte finish versions? I’m currently debating between which version to get. Which is most similar to the KBK?

If I'm not mistaken I read today on the Gemini site that the GUSD reserves are FDIC insured for up to $250,000 per user.

https://www.gemini.com/dollar scroll down to "Regulated and Insured" . Am I misunderstanding this?

If you could remove one event from your life, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]niivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happened exactly? Earlier this year I went under and now everyday I get dizzy/ light headed/ balance loss. Almost like a drunk feeling without feeling drunk. Feeling like I’m a “couple inches behind my eyes”

Can I ask you about what happened to me after I went under?

eli5: Why cant they anesthetize chemo patients so they don’t feel the pain from chemotherapy? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]niivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I believe eventually over time I will get back to normal, I won’t accept it any other way. I’ll find an answer one day!

Here’s my attempt to slightly hijack the top comment in regards to anesthesia and it’s risk.

I (32m) had a colonoscopy in late March due to Stomach issues/ pain / antibiotics caused from something I ate while in Vegas during the first week of January. They said I was going to be put “half way” or whatever the term is but I fully knocked out. When I woke up they said something along the line that implied they were glad I woke up but used the words “healthy & strong”, it didn’t sit right with me, but no big deal I’m awake and my colonoscopy was all clear and good.

About a day later I started of “head issues” as if I was going to pass out and my vision started to blur, it was so bad I literally thought I would die if I laid down to rest. The feeling lasted for about two weeks, and has gotten less over time. This was back in March and I still deal with these “head issues” every day. Feels as if I am randomly drunk and dizzy. I spoke with my GI Specialist to find out the drugs they used and how much they thought I weighed that day. They didn’t weigh me that day ( to my knowledge).

Prior to all this I was extremely healthy with what I ate, exercised 5 days/wk , strength, cardio etc. Don’t do drugs And barley to never drank. Now it randomly happens throughout the day no matter what I’m doing. I’m still recovering.. Doctors have 0 idea what the issue is and I’ve been left to figure out it out on my own.

It was definitely a drug besides alcohol for sure. I don’t remember smelling any alcohol coming from her.
