Work is driving me mad

I started a job last August, all went well I passed my probation then a week later they put me on a PIP. It was out of the blue no 1 to 1 or anything. I was confused and unhappy so I went home thought about it and rang and said I am not sure I can deal with the stress I would like to resign. They scrambled called me into a meeting saying no this is not to manage you out it is help you do not think that. That was in February.

Nothing else said about it then 2 months later it got really busy I made an error so was called into a meeting. I found it all quite negative and said I don’t want to get upset I am just going to leave. Called me up again please come back next week. So went back cracking on again then made another mistake was called in and told sorry we should have been monitoring this but we haven’t been sorry you should have done X YZ ok but if nobody told me these changes were made how can I know. I am looking for another job had an interview did not get it. So I am stuck going in I need to work I am a single parent. Is this normal now I feel like I am making stupid mistakes because I feel under the cosh. Ive come home today so deflated. Do I just keep going in and let it play out until I can hand in my notice. Not sure I can stand anymore.

The people are so nice that I work with but I am so confused. I have not even been there a year so they could just get rid of me. Sorry it’s a ramble but it is bizarre.

It sounds as though they don’t know what they’re doing - one minute they are disciplining you, the next they’re begging you to stay. I can see how that would be stressful and demoralising so you must do what’s right for you which is probably get out of there as soon as possible!

I am seriously trying. I said a PIP is disciplinary action they said no it’s not look at it as a positive. I said but how can I when I had not received any feedback just hit with a laundry list of what I am doing wrong. Oh no we are just helping you. I am 48 years old i have worked in other companies I know how these things go but they are totally denying it and I said but what about if I am doing my best with the knowledge I have? Either they are crazy or I am because this isn’t normal.
