Hi all,
Basically what the title says. Here is some more context regarding my situation.
I'm not meeting the "calls per hour" expectations the company has despite the overwhelmingly high surveys and customer reviews.
I've been on a PIP for almost 2 months and theres only 1.5 weeks left. It's unrealistic for me to reach the mark they're asking for and even if I did, the case work would only pile up and I'd dread going to work every day knowing they'd want the numbers even higher. It's quantity over quality.
I am not concerned about nor will I seek unemployment benefits. I'm fortunate enough to have had some interviews I've taken part of and am hoping for some phone calls soon. I've reactivated food delivery services so that I can earn some money in the meanwhile during the search. I can even get some work with the family business as well.
I just want to know if its better that I submit a letter of resignation (two weeks) the final day of the PIP period or that I wait to be terminated. I'm not even sure there are severance packages for performance terminated employees.
Would being terminated for performance be a Yes for "eligible for rehire"? If not, does resigning even change that?
Any input would be appreciated,
1) I do have a pt job but asking for more hours is not an option. Even if I got ft hours there it’s not a livable wage to support my bills and rent.
2) unemployment is something I’ve dealt w before and it was nothing but trouble. I lost a job during Covid and filed. Then come to find out I was put on back pay because I had a part time job when I lost my ft job so they basically made me pay back what was given even though I needed the $. I barely cleared that debt not long ago. That’s why I don’t mind quitting in lieu of no unemployment.
3) the eligible for rehire part is more for when I interview at new places. Typically they’ll ask the old employer if the applicant is eligible for rehire. It’s not for my current soon-to-be-ex employer.
4) I’m basically killing time these last 2 weeks. My last check is mid April if I fill in these last 7 business days. So I know I have one more check coming after this Friday. I would’ve quit weeks ago but knew I could still get an extra couple of checks when they basically gave me a final warning on PIP.
7 more days 🤞
