Sorry to hear this. No one should have to choose between a newborn and the job.
Was the reason for pip political or performance related. If political don’t worry too much about it.
Performance related as i was not able to put many hours but had all the conversations with my manager and she even mentioned she got my back and all.
This seems to be political. Managers would be always looking for scapegoats for their misdeeds. Try to get your parents support during this time so that you can put in some more time for work. There are few things which is beyond our power. Hopeful things turn positive for you!
I meeting HR day after tomorrow to see my options but not sure of outcome. Read the reality of pip that is designed to fail.... but in want to give my 100%. But so many things going in my mind. Confidence is compromised, negativity taking over.
They should give you a fair chance.... it's not fair to ask someone to work on Dev plan when they have a baby on the way.
Hoping that it works out but not sure how much they'll try to help....sorry becoming more negative rant on my posts. Obviously very stressed & out of confidence.
Sorry to hear. I heard PayPal is generous with employees. Do pip plans are designed to fail?
Yes
It stresses out employees. They aren’t any good for company as well. If you putting someone under pip then make sure those who hired them are held accountable.
Interviews are far from perfect, and definitely can't measure smth like OP not putting in hours if he chose to withhold that information or didn't knew about it. A pip is supposed to do 2 things : 1. create a clear expectation on what an employee required to deliver and how the work place can assist with that. 2. Make a paper trail incase things go wrong and the company needs to let go of that employee.
You qualify for 12 weeks FMLA by law regardless of PIP. Even if it is your last day you can take FMLA and no one can stop you. Go to my leave and apply for FMLA (notify your OB about this situation) - OB’s office should support your request.
I’m not sure if this is true if you are on an H1B. Would be good to double check. Agree with the others, you’ve found yourself in a sticky situation. Above all else - your family and child are what is constant. Continue to try to do your best at work and communicate that to your manager and HR. Good luck.
It's also unpaid leave.
Take paternity leave, leetcode get offer
This is the only option. DON’T tell your expecting wife about this as she can’t do anything about it and it will only give her additional stress. You’re untouchable while you’re on your leave and they know that. Fuck trying to improve and just Leetcode and GTFO. Take the max amount of time but be sure to secure a few offers. Best of luck.
Worst advice ever. Now you want him to loose his job and marriage too? Don't hide shit from your SO
Op can you tell me which manager and organization are playing this?

You need to look after the child even while on PIP right?
No question about that. Situation is bit critical since on h1b as well. Stressed a lot & don't want to talk to SO & stress her out asd well.
Ya one of you will have to be the rock right now
