(They've sent 1+ email(s) like this before but didn't cc HR.) PIP? At Square, you can change teams without manager approval after 9 mos if you are in good standing. I am not sure how soon after joining you can be PIPed though. tc: 150k
I would start leetcoding
I haven't even been here a whole year. The only way I can make time for serious daily leetcode prep is if I coast at work.
Not sure about square but HR being looped in usually means PIP
Yes, this is a PIP coming. Your manager is creating a papertrail documenting that she did give you actionable performance feedback.
Yes they’re documenting their case. Find a new role or start grinding harder.
FWIW, I do feel like things are finally starting to click for me and I can turn things around. Thx for the advice.
That’s great! My advice is be honest and over communicate with your manager. Make sure they know you’re trying and that you acknowledge past mistakes or gaps and what steps you are taking to improve. Ask their advice too and take the feedback and show them how you’re applying it. Don’t be an ass kiss, just let them see how you’re trying to improve. Hang in there. I know several folks who got pip’d and turned it around. You can do it!
Probably forgot to bcc. Anytime HR is involved it’s not a great sign. Sorry
Nope, she said in the email that she has cc'd HR.
Oh, strange
<1 year? More likely preparation for PIP
+1 definitely preparation for PIP.
RIP
Since you say you haven’t been there long, it’s either your manager has failed you and didn’t not follow up early enough with you enough regarding performance and where she’d like to see improvement, or the company is going to be laying people off/overhired and since you’re one of the newest employees you got the short end of the stick.
I think Square is still hiring SWEs at full throttle, don't think layoffs are on the horizon for us in 2022.
It's funny how you identify your company with an "us" but the company is planning to fire you.
Why did my manager email me a summary of her feedback and cc HR after she discussed areas I am not meeting expectations?
?
?
TC too low. 4 tier companies can match it
Typo. Also I don’t live in HCOL.
Time to jump ship
I haven't even been here a whole year.
When a manager is cc hr nothing good happens
