I am on PIP.. Should I take the generous severance?
I am on PIP officially for 30 days. I have just burnt out and feel mentally unstable. Need a break and want to just relax to recover.. My severance package is 3.5 months pay (base) + Medical insurance coverage till end of 2020. I am thinking to just take the severance to relax and get back on feet. I wont be rehirable at FB for 5 years. Looking for some thoughts.
does e5 still get piped? I thought senior r pretty safe if no visa issue, take and leave for a rest
What about your stocks
Try to get out of pip?
Any benefits of grinding extra hard while burnout? One thing I can think of is get out of pip and then take an unpaid leave for 2-3 months to recover and get back to work..
You can keep your pay/stocks. You might regret throwing away what you've got when job hunting (where you might get even more burned out). Your suggestion is pretty good, don't do something you'll regret later.
Take the severance and recuperate man. Being on PIP has got to be tough and no guarantee you can coast once you're back to normal.
Thanks .. thinking the same..
Doesn’t seem like staying long term is healthy for you. How tough is it to overcome PIP and switch to a better team? I say take the severance though
Take the severance. After some time off, reflect on where you could improve and make sure not to repeat the same mistakes in your next gig. For me, I realized that wlb is the most important!
Is the severance really generous? What's the usual severance like say in Amazon?
Take severance and take a few months to relax
Finding a new job is not as stressful as working at FB. Take severance and find a new job. Obviously you won't be ready for working at FB for next five years. So don't think much about it.
E5.. TC will be $0 soon
Almost 4 years at fb?
Yeah..3.5+ years
