what was the reason they gave? genuine underperformance or political?

they said i wasnt "operating at E4 level" after a reorg where my scope got cut in half. hard to show E4 impact when your project gets deprioritized and you're doing E3 work

this is the most common PIP story at meta. reorg -> scope cut -> "not operating at level" -> PIP. it's a machine

start applying TODAY. not tomorrow. today. your 30 days will vanish and you need 2-3 weeks just to get phone screens scheduled. every day you spend trying to fight the PIP is a day you didnt spend on your exit

do NOT sign anything without reading it. if they offer you a separation agreement check if there's a severance attached and whether it has a non-disparagement clause. consult a lawyer if its more than 0 dollars
