My boss is sending signals that they are not ok with my performance, though I am not on PIP. In case there is a layoff coming in the next few weeks, I feel I may be targeted. Is it the best for me to quit the company now so that I may have a option of being rehired by a different manager later? I have done well for the company and people other than my manager know about it. #layoff #rehire
LinkedIn would PIP and/or layoff like that? Are you staff?
How long at LinkedIn?
No, it doesn't work that way. - If your performance is not great, why go you expect a different manager would rehire? - If your poor performance is not documented yet, then wouldn't it be possible to you to switch teams now? - if you are preparing to leave, a better solution is to apply and find a job if possible *before* the inevitable. - quitting before the layoffs, is almost always a bad tactic. Your ego might get hurt a little less, but that is not worth a penny
Thank you for your response. I should have given more context: there are other managers interested in me at the moment but I can't switch because internal transfers are frozen at the moment. Actually, there is no issue with the performance. It's just that my manager doesn't want me. In the light of these things, do you still think it is not a good idea to quit?
“There is no issue with my performance” - how are you concluding this? Just that you’re not on PIP?
Even if performance is not documented, HR would reach out to previous manager for reference...
Switch teams internally now or work a little harder
Found this comment intriguing. How do you “work a little harder” if you already give it your all in your job? Honest question here, not starting an argument or anything. I guess if one is to “coast” in their job or do the bare minimum, that would make sense to try harder. But if you work your butt off always, “work a little harder” doesn’t make sense. We evolve, get better at what we do, etc. but that isn’t the same as hearing “work harder”. Care to expand for a fellow blind user to understand?
It's about "time". You can give it your all for 8 hours or you can give it your all for 12 hours and do more than what is expected of you (achieve goal faster, over deliver, blah).
Interesting
Dont let ego drive you, get severance, get. Rsu acellerated and keep trying on the side
Don't do this. This is one of the common bad advices given, usually by bad managers and non managers who don't have any idea how corporate politics works. (Remember, this is the exact same advice they give for marital issues, issue with roommates, or everywhere). 1. A half decent manager would have initiated the open conversation instead of waiting for you to do it. 2. By putting them on spot, you are actually making them find where you are not good enough and verbalize it. 3. It becomes easy for your manager to justify at a later time why they screw you. Even if you complain to your boss's boss or HR, they are going to say, you didn't perform well even after they have pointed it to you. A good manager worth having a open conversation with, would have already informed you. If you want to be proactive, with bad managers (this works with good managers as well), you should be doing it well in advance before things get strained. You should be asking, what should you to get exceeds expectation in your role, what should you go to get promoted, and so on. Remember, this is not marriage where you are dealing with an equal, and you hope to continue the relationship for your life🤞, and relationship is 1:1. Your manager is paid more for a reason. Note: I'm neither claiming all managers are bad, nor if the OPs manager is bad.
