>boss put me on a PIP 2 months ago
>been trying to find jobs a few months before that cuz I realized there was no pleasing him
>haven't found any jobs, its unreal how bad the market is, have this bad feeling its never going to get better
>PIP ends on Tuesday
I am an engineer. I started off as a tech and worked my ass off getting bachelors full time to escape manual labor. Now im gonna be that goy with a masters degree who took a 500 percent pay cut to do repetitive ligament destroying work. I honestly feel like god did this beacuse its too much bad things happening at once that are culminating into my total demise.

>500 percent pay cut to do repetitive ligament destroying work
Trades pay more than ever, especially vs pajeet-saturated office work. Skill issue
>>
>>62388676
My entire life has been nothing but fighting tooth and nail, working myself 1000x harder than anyone anywhere ever for 0.001% of what anyone else gets for free. I have felt that god is purposely shitting on me pretty much my whole life. It doesn't get better, it only ever gets worse. If anything happens to me that seem to be a good thing, I have 6 months max to enjoy it because that'll be taken from me and then I'll be beaten up and crushed down for added effect. It's a real comedy out there.

So don't worry bro, you have a lot of time ahead of you to suffer far more. If there really is a god, he must be the most perfectly evil of entities.
>>
The worst part is that in my meeting with my boss today he didnt mention if I will pass the PIP. He said he needed to talk with some people including HR. So 90 percent chance he is going to fire me but just enough chance he wont that I have to spend the weekend waiting instead of processing the pain. And if he doesnt fire me, I will be a totally buckbroken employee who will never care about a rasie and work 60 hours weeks. Like a absurd housewife that has no were else to go and she tries to esapce and gets rapped(applies to ghost jobs) even worse so she comes back to him. Thats me. I used to think my relationship with work was like between a man and a woman, were I am the man that picks and chooses women and is the one who leaves but its all turned around past couple of years. I am nothing but a side pieace female whore to these companies now, they treat me like a contract worker without paying me like one. They got us with not giving raises to match inflation, they got us with return to work mandates and now, they are going to get us by firing us and leaving us with nothing. U will get put on a PIP too, at the worst time possible also. They wont even lay u off anymore, they want to save a little bit of money by denying us unemployment insurance by firing us through a PIP.


Was being in ur 30s a good excperince back in the day? There is no way human civilization would have gotten to were it is if it was always this bad for everyone. Of course, I am a faggot and just suck but the fsct of the matter is that PIPs and no jobs has been a very common trope on the internet lately
>>
>>62388694
Same thing with me with the 6 months to enjoy something, not a day more. I am realizing that we were supposed use those 6 months to prepare for the bad months instead of trying to enjoy it though. But all im asking from life is a steady job beacuse me and a lot of other people dont have any kind of support network or any kind.
>>
>>62388691
Manual labor is significantly worse in every way. If i HAVE to do it then I understand but dont sit there and larp like its not a miserable way to live. Aslo they pay is terrible, u have been reading fake news

i got laid off two months ago

i get interviews for jobs in my domain but they are at the other side of europe (im eastern european)

i just bought an apartment and im indebted to the teeth, i still think i can go out of this trade at break even, no way im staying in this shithole any longer

all my ex-coworkers accepted low tier technical support / helpdesk / pajeet IT jobs but i refuse to do it because my gf would earn more than me

ah yes did i tell you? all women around me have fancy jobs with big salaries and 100% remote positions and company trips all over the world
>>
>>62388697
You wanted to be a STEM monkey from the 90s until 2020. No brown person could replace you in the form of an H1B. And unfortunately >>62388691 is semi-right. You will still be working 60 hours a week but you will make money. Invest wisely so you can afford all the surgery you'll need in your 50s and 60s. I keep trying to force myself to look in my old field but even those jobs aren't hiring.

For some reason, I feel this will all pass when the orange retard is gone.

you're getting it. to the both of you young men, be grateful. look up to the sun and give thanks. say out loud "thank you for my job, Father. thank you for my parents. thank you for my health." just be grateful and put that gratitude back into the system.

>>62388730
Ungrateful for what, nigger? Tell me ONE thing I should be grateful for. I got my work stolen, I got abandoned by everyone around me when they were contractually obliged and paid to support me in ways so bad I was ordered to cease all internal communication and contact an ombudsman, every achievement I fought for got ripped off from my hands, I've been explicitly told I was passed on because I am a white man and they need women instead, everytime I'm given the time of day people lose their mind about how hypercompetent I am (because I was forced to learn everything about everything to even so much as get said time of day, when others just waltz in no problem). At 32 I restarted my life from 0, moving to a foreign country I had no tie to and no knowledge of the language of because that was my only option to avoid homelessness and bankruptcy. I had $23.5 left in my bank account when I landed. I present with 500x (true number, no exaggeration) the work-related metrics of my peers and I'm told I should never even think of an internship because it's too low by a guy who got a fulltime lead position with 1/1000th of this metric.
Tell me one thing to be grateful about, nigger.
>>
>>62388730
What job? What health? Nigger, I have more injuries than war vets even though I've always taken extensive care of my body while everyone around was just fucking about and crashing their cars into walls for fun. And most importantly, why in the absolute fuck would I be thankfully for my parents who were the primary reason why I was fucked over my entire fucking life?

2. As I said, I keep trying to convince myself to go back. Remodel work is ok. The rough-in/install is what sux.

Surprisingly, very widely overblown and not at all in line with my experience. I see a nig or a nog here and there of course, but it's easily 95% white people in public. I know there are specific areas where the dregs tend to accumulate, but even then it's not that bad. I also learned the same applies to crime, when swedes say everything is dangerous and such, what they mean is they heard someone play music loudly once, or some man got mad and his girlfriend one night and they raised their voice a little. Of course it's true that crime stats show an increase in various crimes, but it's also very overblown in my experience at least.

>I will be a totally buckbroken employee who will never care about a rasie and work 60 hours weeks

do you have any money saved? if not, you let this happen to you. not to brag, but merely to show a contrasting approach. I worked for a bank and they tried to get me to sign a paper saying I acknowledged my annual performance wasn't good. I said no. they replied I could be put on a pip if I didn't. again, I replied no and I wouldn't sign a pip either. 2 weeks later they gave me a bonus check, still laugh thinking about their face when they told me. after I cashed the check, the day it cleared I emailed the manager that he was soft and technically incompetent. a week later HR let me go and again, gave me all of my PTO which was like 3 months living expenses for me. I tell you this to show you that having money allows you be confrontational and advocate for yourself. people can sniff weakness and poverty a mile away. I had my entire summer paid for, and very fortunately found a remote position in the fall. money attracts money.

Get a tech job outside of the tech industry.

Banks, insurance, public sector, F500 companies, etc. They need software engineers and have no concept of PIPs. You'll get paid less and have less growth but better than being a blue collar wagie.

THE problem is
> EXTREMELY few (real) jobs available, as you mentioned
> whatever job position there is, gets insta-botted within minutes of posting by literally hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of resumes, so your chances are already shot if you're going through the mass apply route
So yeah, hate to be cliche but it's all about connections now. Caveat - the RIGHT connections, getting just connections might get you an interview but you're still very likely getting rejected again.

The job market is not as bad as you think, it is just that doing job hunting online is worthless now due to AI and jeets spamming everything. Contact real people the old fashioned way and you will have more luck. Talk to your friends, family and network of contacts. If a job is treating you like shit you have to move on. or get your manager fired. The latter is not easy.

No, PIPs are pretty universal ass-covering tactics for firing people in all large companies.

Never in my life did a job I actually landed require more than one interview. I would tell them no thanks if they wanted more than 2. Multi-round interviews are a sign of a dogshit organization run by idiot women.

Job gets reposted after your multi round interviews because it's literally HR & hiring managers throwing a tantrum that they can't find their PERFECT unicorn. If it were a ghost job, it'd either be:
> rejection from the get go, just there to collect your data
> they never respond to your application at all, again just a trap to collect your data and sell it to a third party scammer
or
> it's there to simply show fake growth to shareholders with zero intention of ever hiring anybody, this only applies to gone public larger companies though

I've been involved in hiring senior tech roles at 2 companies, on the interview panel.

We literally interviewed for 12 months+ without hiring anyone, because making a bad hire is worse than making no hire.

I recommended several ex-colleagues at a job I was involved in the hiring process for. They were literally perfect for the job and had all the qualifications and the boss agreed, but they only had 2-3 yoe instead of 5+ as the bossman wanted. They all found jobs a few weeks later because non-retarded hirers (rare but do exist) judge by competence and not years on the job. 9 months later still not a single hire, the only people who make it through his screen are literally incapable of programming and have never worked with the tech we're recruiting for before as they clearly and explicitly state during the interview. They all explain they applied to this position (a senior role, not a junior or intern role) to learn about this tech and while they all have 10-15-20 yoe in webdev, they are so incompetent they couldn't tie their metaphorical shoelaces.

Holy FUCK that's what I've felt too.

Some people are allowed to stay solid and secure because of their personal connections and the rest of us get bait and switched during the interviews, squeezed of what they can get out of us for a while, then tossed out when the knowledge transfer is done or the project is good enough for them to hand it to one of their buddies and take it from you. You get worked like a slave and then cast out. Chewed up and spit out.

I thought it was if you get fired you don't get unemployment.
I someone tried pip'ing me too but I was protected by a higher up who realized that politics was fucking my shit up with a hostile environment so he mercy killed me with a layoff so I got a nice severance. After that I also got unemployment for my state.

No, you get unemployment only if you are laid off due to economic constraints or incompetence. Thats why PIPs aren’t that bad. You don’t get unemployment if you are fired for negligence (this can be fought if you have proof they set you up or if they were playing favorites) or if you leave willingly. Unemployment benefits tend to pay up to 2000 dollars a month depending on your salary.
