I was just separated from my company this morning. After being put on a PIP plan (which btw came as a surprise). Never not once was I told that I’m doing something wrong. In the end, I think I was put on this ridiculous plan because one of the executives stopped liking me. Ever since then, I’ve been targeted up until this point. What do I do?

I’m curious whether people would accept slightly lower pay for a genuinely healthier culture. A bad environment can make good compensation feel less valuable. What would you trade for peace of mind at work?

I am 63 years old and have 30 years of Collections management experience working in banks . I currently have an individual contributor role job making $110,000 per year . Our office is only 5 people. I report to the owner . I've been here 3 years. I recently received a job offer of $110,000 for a Collections Manager for a Debt Collection law firm. They have a 401K plan but no match. My current job is very low stress , casual dress, and a very easy job. Is this new job worth the move ?

I’m curious how people think about loyalty now. Companies talk a lot about retention, but employees have learned not to assume stability. Do you still believe in staying long-term at one company?

💭 How/when do you disclose that you were let go from your last job in an interview?
