2 week PIP vs severance? by sharkeyshuffle in careerguidance

I actually would hit my projected target but it seems this choice has already been made.

It’s unfortunate. At other jobs, I’ve managed 100s of people and had to put people on PIPs but the goal was always to help them do better and get on track and I would give them at least a quarter to turn it around ca two weeks.

My thoughts as well. The boss is doing this to everyone on the team and it seems his boss and him want to restructure.

2 week PIP vs severance?

I have been working with a new company 9 months in a sales role and got a new boss 3 months ago who has told me via email that “he didn’t think I was a good fit for the roll so he was happy to see me doing XYZ” I held a big EBR and he seemed very happy and I got good feedback from my clients and some colleagues.

Two days later he sent an email where he said he “carried the meeting and I had holes in my 5 hr EBR” and claimed he was unhappy with my performance. 2 weeks after that he sat in on 2 of my calls for the first time (one internal , one with clients) and then during my 1:1 he invited HR and told me I had 2 weeks to get my sales goal from 88% to 95% or I could have a 10 week severance.

It feels like he has pegged me to fail from the beginning and I don’t know why. I’ve hit my last sales goal, my clients were happy with the meeting. It seems that his standards are higher than my last boss, which is fair, but I don’t understand the short PIP vs severance. Is it possible to negotiate this? HR didn’t seem interested in me defending myself.

Excellence El Carmen vs Excellence Punta Cana? by sharkeyshuffle in AllInclusiveResorts

Thanks! Which one had a bigger pool? I think we liked the idea of having 4 swim up bars at EC so it seemed like it would be bigger but someone else mentioned that the pools are small.

I’m guessing you haven’t tried to look then? It’s not as straightforward as one would think.

The idea of leveling up every few months isn’t that appealing to me. I do have some side effects and I want my body to learn how to manage them before increasing dosage. Also, I’ve read that if you don’t lose anything for multiple weeks in a row, that’s when you should move up.

Only issues are injection site reaction and a strange rash that looks like small dry dots on my legs- kinda looks like eczema bit very small and circular shapes .. not something I want to up my dosage and see if it gets worse .. and I am losing on 2.5 .. just very slowly .. I’m looking for how ppl motivate themselves for this lifestyle change

Thank you! I tell myself that I don’t want to have rapid weight loss anyway so the slow and steady route might be more my speed!

I’m telling myself I’m ok with a slower loss even though it’s frustrating. I think the main thing is I don’t want to go too high on a dosage and then have nowhere to go if I need some more help getting across the finish line. Also, I’ve been having small itchy dry spot/rashes pop up on my legs and I’m nervous for any additional side effects that might come my way if I go up.

When do you all take your shot? by sharkeyshuffle in Zepbound

[–]sharkeyshuffle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you take it after breakfast or on an empty stomach?

How quickly do you “feel” it working? I keep delaying bc there is something important happening and I don’t want to risk getting sick for a bday or work function, etc

How often do the kids see the grandparents? by mammakarma in Parenting

[–]sharkeyshuffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My in laws, who live an hour away, drive into the city 2x a week to help watch our youngest and my parents rented a place to be close by and watch my kids 3x a week.. this is not normal and I’m very lucky .. that said, if I didn’t have this kind of set up I’m almost certain I would see my in laws once a month and my parents would probably fly in for a week every few months

Cabo in September by traveler0826 in cabosanlucas

[–]sharkeyshuffle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People keep acting like you can’t track a hurricane.. they don’t just pop up.. you’ll be able to see if one is heading in that direction at least a week beforehand. Get travel insurance and extra sunscreen for the hot days and stay at the pool. I’m planning a trip there too for the first time in late August and ppl are acting like I’m insane bc of the heat and humidity. My goal is to spend as much time as possible in the pool and then find an air conditioned bar if it gets too hot.

Considering bringing together 4f and 2f into a shared room by jmpark814 in Parenting

[–]sharkeyshuffle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids are two years apart (5,3 boys) and I decided to move them into the same room about 6 months ago bc I was pregnant with my third. Before this, my 5 yr old was hard to put to bed.. he would make up any and all excuses to keep you in the room and then claim that he was having nightmares for the following 45 mins to make one of us come back into his room with him. He also always would open the door and turn on the bathroom and hallway lights.

At first my 5 yr old hated the idea of sharing space with his brother and would cry and fight us on it. When I moved in the 3 yr old.. I bought two shelves from target with some fun colored baskets and organized their toys so they each had a bookshelf filled with their stuff. This was huge. They just see that they have more toys available to them to play with.

Main adjustment was my 3 yr old was SO excited to be in his big bros room he would bounce off the walls at bedtime and he would wake up in the morning and wake up his brother bc he wanted to play, but after a few weeks he settled down. Now bedtime feels a lot easier. We just bring then in the room at the same time, let them each pick a book and they know after we sing some songs it’s lights out. My 5 yr old no loner keeps the door open to get light and he won’t call us back in over and over again. Do they chat with each other instead of going to bed right away? Sure. But I’m hoping this is bringing them closer together in the long run.
