You should definitely quit the company. Don't waste a lot of time there.
2 years back I quit the company to start freelancing, and sometimes when I look back - I regret wasting those valuable years of my life.
It feels like my situation just 2 years back. I stayed in such a company for 7 long years because of various reasons - but also because it got very comfortable - I had the option to do bad-to-mediocre work and no-one would question it, because everybody thought it was "great work". Three years into the company I had once complained to a new manager that most of the team did "mediocre work" and did not even take minuscule risks. The result was - the new manager put me into a PIP, ironically in a quarter when I was performing very good. She came to apologize a week later. But formally never cleared my name off PIP, instead marked me as a employee she cured on the HR records. That was cruel.

- tajen 10y agoIn other words, it means your employer is collecting proof that you can't perform in order to fire you.

The performance being improved is the validation of the execution of the decision to fire you which has in fact already been made. http://www.employmentlawfirms.com/resources/employment/employee-rights/the-performance-improvement-plan-pip-ied http://www.employmentlawfirms.com/resources/employment/emplo...

- kristianp 10y agoDon't just quit, the OP probably doesn't have the experience to go freelancing. He/she should apply for jobs while still earning an income, you have a better bargaining position that way.
- borplk 10y agoHow do you find the freelancing stuff? I get tired of having to deal with people pretty quickly so I'm a bit worried I couldn't do it.
