I've had health issues since I joined and I took the medical LOA for a while. After I came back to my original team, the medical work accommodation was approved by both my doctor and the case manager from DLS team. However, I still got the pip during my work accommodation. The manager/HR said it's not related to my work accommodation but it's me who underperformed and didn't reach the Lv4 bar.

Things got really worse after I received the pip documentation few days ago. I almost couldn't work but cry all day long, because I lost my health, my last H1B lottery, the salary etc. I'm so frustrated to read the emails/doc where "my mistakes" were documented by the manager.

I know some people might choose to take FMLA/LOA within the 5 days after receiving the pip doc, and use the additional time to take a rest or find jobs. I probably would be able to take FMLA, given I'm still in the work accommodation and indeed had serious medical issues. But I'm afraid what my manager/HR will do to me after I'm back from the FMLA (e.g. prevent me from taking the severance?)

If you were me, what would you choose?

TC: 167k (severance package is roughly 2-3 months)
Tenure: 2 years

    Your severance won't go anywhere if you get your leave approved and your leave starts within those 5 days.
    Do the above, and pause the process asap.
    Stay strong for now, think emotionally later.

    If your leave starts later, then your severance would reduce to a third, but atleast it'll buy you time for a new job, and pause those shitty emails

    You need to be healthy to work in America, there are insurances to puchase based on this. And if you can't don't worry, plenty of replacements wanting their H1B visa
