If you lost your job through a PIP, and ignoring the need to earn a living, how long did it take you to make peace with the idea and not be angry or bitter?

It's a year and a half for me so far. Gradually letting it go..

How did you lose your job through a PIP ? You could appeal or take your manager on a grievance if you felt it was unfair .

I worked for a school that had no money. Somehow this ended up being my fault. Not that I decided pay rises or who to employ etc.. Trustees needed someone to go..

I think you need to explain a bit more. Why did your employer know you have a pip ? It’s private information.

Confused how would anyone know you were receiving pip if you don't tell them

@DJKATIE if you read the comment above yours it explains what PIP means (not a benefit)

Sorry I forgot to clarify the possible double meaning of the abbreviation, as this was the work board. I agree it would be really shitty if you lost your job because you also claimed PIP 😔
