Manager crying?

[foxyrocks]

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?

@dadtoateen - it's usually required that every settlement agreement is looked over by a lawyer at the time of drawing it up and signing it. Usually the company paying the settlement pays the lawyer's fee too!

This.

I have had to manage people out in a range of circs.

I hated it and it upset me every time. I remember all of them. I frequently cried its incredibly stressful as a manager for a variety of reasons.

More than once it wasnt even my choice (one of the individuals who fell into this group definitely thought i had been plotting for years i actually had come round to have way of working and thought she'd improved considerably...)

One common theme in about almost all cases (where it was capability issue) was a total lack of understanding of reality by the individuals concerned. In cases where the business decided their face didnt fit. They generally got it.

@foxyrocks did the right thing taking the money and cutting losses.
