@@AlfonsoECruz If you have a big bank account to not worry about being unemployed, then you can quit any time you want. But if you're not in that position you will need to make an exit plan. Update your resume, start looking on the internet for job opportunities, interview a few places to see what's out there. When you are working on an exit plan those worries of yours won't bother you as much. You can leave strong without jeopardizing your livelihood. Usually, your manager can tell that you're reaching out to other companies because you're taking time off to interview. Then it become a race to the finish line.

Dear Bryan: Thanks for the post. I agree, it is important to let your employer fire you instead of quitting. It's a way to bide your time and get prepped while you look for your next opportunity. Out of curiosity how many of these firings you knew of (or handled) were really performance related, or when performance was used as a pretext. I guess by the time it comes to your desk, all that mattered was what was documented. I became suddenly stupid and was put on a PIP for one of my first jobs in an engineering consulting firm. The head of HR called me up and told me the PIP would not be used as grounds for termination. She also tipped me off that my boss hated my guts, unbeknownst to me. It was one of the rare moments HR acted on my interest and to my surprise she held her word.

While different than being fired, being laid off has the same result. If you find your boss is no longer including you in meetings or assigning you to key projects, thats a big red flag. Probe him or her by volunteering to join these projects and why you'd be a good asset for such. Their reaction or lack of will give you your answer. If you see if coming, take advantage of your free time to bolster or fill gaps in your skill set. There are certain applications that are difficult to get access to outside the company environment so take advantage while you have access and build your skillset.

You can always re- apply in 6 months to a year, to your old job if there’s an opening, provided you have something new to show. That is, only if you really like the company, but if it’s toxic, it’s not worth going back. Always good to split amicably, even during a layoff. - Amy

Start planning your exit. Update CV or resume.

Even if your job is horrible, surely there are skills and experience gained from it? Customer service? Office admin? Working under pressure. Try to use the experience you gained and put a positive spin on it so you look like gold, that is what applications and interviews are for and what people do in applications and interviews anyway lol. Start budgeting until you have a regular income again. If you are experiencing what is being described in this video, you are not the only person who experienced that and there are countless others who have gone through even worse.

Always keep records of your employment from job hunting to the last days -keep pre-email hiring, contract employment, copies of policies you’ve signed. -keep email from your boss even if doesn’t look like a writing-up -document the good and the bad stuff that may happened during employement -document when thing get heat between boss or collegues (and HR)

I got fired after 1 week at work. In hindsight I saw it coming. The boss became slightly akward, silent, did not joke around with me as much as he did the first 2 days. It was a small company with 5 employees. After 1 week (thursday to thursday) he wanted to speak with me in his room (massive red flag, unless the meeting is planned you are in trouble). Well I was fired because they had a gutfeeling that I was wrong for the job. To this day I do not know what I did wrong, I was on time and had conversations during lessons. I am sure it was mostly my fault, but the feedback was not the best. Gutfeeling is way to vague tbh.

I'm one of the older, pensioned employees at my job. They don't do pensions anymore for new hires, and every year I work adds more to my pension benefits. At a result, quitting is probably not the best thing. It is getting rough the last few years, watching new hires pour in and get treated better than me.

So great! I hear you and the excellent input you provide. I am on the other side and am trying to coach employee but may have to do a PIP. It makes me sick to think of it. If we cannot work together to improve the situation then I plan to refer her to your KZitem channel after sad dismissal. It has been a year and she still requires more time and energy from me than it would for me to do her tasks. Or perhaps I should be PIP'ed for my inability to manager her. Even though I am working on my management skills, etc. I fear she will not survive well as we move through a recent merger unless I am able to properly communicate to her solid expectations. Have already started weekly meetings (with her) to address this.

I remember back in 08. Our Assistant Manager was an absolute prick. Called me names. Questioned my worth ethic to my face. I complained to HR about his hostile attitude. Jack shit happened. Tried for unemployment after I quit. Denied. Go starve on the street a-hole. When I brought a labor lawyer into the mix, suddenly the GM and HR backed up and said they were willing to give me 3 months severance if I let the case go. Took it and got another job 2 months later.

I broke into the H.R. office through the ceiling at night and stole all the previous write-ups from my file. When I went to the meeting, they guessed I must have done it somehow, but the Japanese Owners were so amused at how I outsmarted H.R. that they let it go with a smirk....(and they didn't have any evidence anymore anyway...lol) my first write up...again.

Often times you are put into a tough spot in a job because you are the only one being put into the position of standing up for ethics and remaining legal and not at risk of a lawsuit, or worse- human death. That was a position I was put it- those that remained in their job allowed their ethics to be subjugated in order to "feed their family". Do you suggest people who are about to be fired bend like they do as well? Sometimes a workplace is SO beyond the word "toxic", it becomes an enterprise of fraud and illegality. This was pharmaceutical testing and development arena, not just benign software development where things clearly work or don't work.

My better half fired her boss. Both of her parents are in their mid 80s. Her father broke his hip about 6 weeks ago, which can be life shortening for someone his age. There is supposed to be family leave for these types of scenarios, but the largest law firm in seattle just cannot get their shit together to facilitate that family leave. So, my better half told her boss that there simply was no room in her life for the constant bullshit coming her way on a daily basis.

fun fact - the short for PIP exists also in Poland, means, after translation, more or less National Workplace Inspection, and the most important role of this organization is to stand for the employee and check how the employer acts reffering to the employee, if the workplace is safe, legal, no health hazards, renumeration is not too low - against the agreed conditions and fe more - so that the employer is not imposing his power against the people whu are hired. So, the PIP is also considered to be a threat, bit in this case to the unfair employer LOL

I'm sorry, I am sure this is meant well, but the bottom line is if they want to get rid of you they will find a way and all you are is delaying the end date to a slightly later time by complying. To use a metaphor, you simply must spend the time, in an organized fashion, packing up your sh*t to leave, rather than having to quickly shove it in a bag and dart out the back door. That is the only real difference. Unless your sibling is a lawyer who will represent you for no fee ... then the company always has the deeper pockets and an attorney on retainer who does their bidding. Employees are human, and they will find something on you they can use and selectively ignore others doing the same thing or worse, as long as those people are arse-kissers.

I thought Brian was joking and was going to give us a punch line. But no. This video has nothing to do with "being the CEO of your own career". A CEO would save up enough money so that once to toxivity hit a threshold, they would quit and find a better job. Accept a PIP? That's for the "clueless" subserviant employee class. In the context of "being the CEO of your own career" the advice should have been to start saving money as fast as possible, get all your bank accounts and credit in order, apply for lines of credit that require employment if you havent already, get your resume and other job search resources in order, start reaching out to your network. Not "bow down to the toxic corporate sociopaths". Brian has lost his mind. lol
