Formal Warning

Coworker was upset that her boss was escalating an informal warning she received last month to a formal warning. I asked her if that’s a PIP and she said she was told that there are no PIP’s. Is this true? Is she sc--wed? She said her manager told her to meet with her more frequently to discuss anything. She said manager seems to be supportive of legitimately helping and actually wanted her to take over some work from another coworker.

Seems to me that this may be their due diligence to letting her go, but why have her take over more work if they want to let her go?

PIP is not a tool being widely used if at all in this environment.

The path to termination is two less than meets quarters in a row. WD check-ins are in part the heads up to the employee expectations are not being met.

@e9 Nope. If it were, I’d just say so. I’d certainly have more information as well.

@dc Good question. Not exactly sure if it’s for a particular reason or reasons. I’ll have to ask her. She’s not in today.

Sounds like they're making up reasons to fire her.

OP here.
She just came to me and told me her formal warning in Teamworks is still so vague. No corrective items listed, no dates given, etc. Just a repeat of her informal warning. She applied for another internal job and has an interview today. She’s wondering if her boss found out and this is “revenge”. I told her her boss probably wouldn’t do that, but who knows? I feel bad for her because she’s quite knowledgeable.

They’re giving extra work in order to set the employee up to fail. When the failure happens, the employee will be termed regardless of how severe the fail was. Charlie wants everyone pushed out the door yesterday and this is a direct result and the new norm.

@ah are you sure it's not LOB specific?

It’s over at this point. Been here 18 years and have never seen someone get past a formal warning.
