Manager crying?

This is cutting a very long story short. But basically it’s been hell at work for maybe a year now. They put me on a PIP, which I tried my hardest, but they still failed me but they refused to do any check-ins or give me any updates on how I was doing. When they failed me, I said I wasn’t doing this anymore and it ended with them offering me money if I wanted to leave.

The alternative would have been an official appeal and placed on a further PIP if the appeal failed.

Today was my last day, manager walked me out and had tears in her eyes. Aibu to think this is bizarre behaviour when she clearly wanted me out?

Maybe her hands were tied and she had no choice as it came from Upper management and she felt guilty?

or maybe she had really wanted a success story and your performance didn’t improve?

maybe she is now on a PIP as they didn’t do check ins with you?

who knows. Regardless, you’re better off out of there as it wasn’t improving for you or them.

Sorry to read this @foxyrocks
perhaps the decision wasn’t ultimately hers and it came from higher up?
