This week I received a PIP. That wouldnt have been the last straw. But my boss brought me into his office with HR on the webcam, no prior warning or even discussing with me that he was unhappy with my performance. I walked in there, shocked because just three weeks ago I received positive feedback and that I was doing a good job(this was what helped me hold on).In the PIP it said I needed to be helped too much (I thought this was funny because my boss always told me hes there to support me and I was never trained on anything. I basically thought myself the job.

I then resigned saying I wanted a career change and didnt elaborate. Then my boss asked me if theres anything he can do to make me stay. He was genuinely shocked i was resigning. I told him the job isnt for me and they need someone with more experience.

Yall i was so happy this morning I started blasting Staying Alive and danced with my 2 dogs urns in my room. I never felt okay like this in a long time. That PIP was a blessing. It gave me the courage to leave a low paying, toxic job. Just 3 days ago I prayed to God to make things better and the coincidence is crazy.
