I’m on day 1 of my coaching plan and my PL is already micromanaging me and criticizing every single thing that I do and I can’t take this anymore. I genuinely feel like I’m going to explode from the stress. I know they’re trying to get me to quit, but I won’t, but how can I get through these next 30 days without having a heart attack?

@OP+1qLzODTU just run a background check on him/her.
You'll find series of DUIs and potentially spattering of bankruptcies. Report them. If the company refuses to take action, go public.
They will not find a high level position at any financial company ever again. That's why they work as a gang to get rid of talented outsiders. Expose them.
I know this sounds cynical but this is the truth. It's within your rights to do it.
Yes you can be fired on your death bed.
Yes you can be fired while on disability, maternity, paternity or FMLA leave. If they don't while you're on leave you will be put on a coaching plan or PIP upon return.
So, if you're considering a short term disability leave because you're stressed to the breaking point. Internalize thar when you return you will be fired.
I've even heard of someone fired while on a hospital bed for major surgery during a medical leave.
I am on short term disability because of the stress after being on a coaching plan at mid-year, “passing it” somehow, but then finding out I’m still getting a below strong for YE. I’m sure I’ll be let go the first day back. Wonder if they will fire me or lay me off with severance? I don’t think STD protects your job but I couldn’t deal with the stress, negativity and toxicity any longer. It was affecting my mental health, personal life and relationships.
Use the career services coaches that are available for free. I had a call with one yesterday and it went really well and helped with getting into a better mindset about the situation.
Read this thread. Top notch.

If you get placed on a coaching plan or a PIP read the below actions. A coaching plan is a precursor to a PIP and if it has lies and exaggerations you don't sign it in Workday. If the coaching plan turns into A PIP you never sign a PIP either. It's not used to improve your performance if it has lies and exaggerations so you've been set up to fail. Nearly 100% of the time no one passes a PIP. You tell them to let you go with severance and so you can get unemployment benefits. There is nothing to lose because you've already been targeted to be fired. So fight for your life.
If the company refuses to terminate you and provide you severance and unemployment benefits then you write an email to you boss and his/her boss and cc: the HR Business Partner for your team and accuse them of bias, discrimination, harassment, anti-semitism, racism, s-xism, ageism, colorism, lookism, disability, religion, and wrongful termination. And anything else including that you were a whistle blower for serious corporate misconduct.
Also, don't just quit without a job because you won't get unemployment insurance for voluntarily leaving. You want to get fired. And you simply tell your new company that there was a company wide layoff. Background checks only tell a new employer your last title and dates of employment and can't divulge any reasons for getting let go. Its the law. So you're safe.

They can’t fire you if you are on FMLA
Document everything to protect yourself.
Post your experience to Glassdoor to warn others. Sounds like a scam to fire people and deny unemployment.
FMLA might be the best option.
But keep in mind they can still fire you while you’re on it I think.
Here is the thing. Even if you do well on the coaching plan they may still find a reason to put you on the PIP or they may still give you a below strong in which then you will definitely have to be in the PIP.
Do well on the PIP? They will still find a reason to fire you.
Just how the games goes over there
Can you ask for severance and leave?
My family gave me the suggestion to pretend you’re a piece of rock…no matter how they hit you, just lay there and be like “ok, I don’t care. Do what you will.”
I get what they’re trying to say, and I can’t fully implement it myself, but thought I’d share their advice if it’s helpful to you.
Take FMLA for stress.
