Am I gonna be put on a PIP?
Hi everyone - I just started my first job as an Analyst 1(lateral from non IB) at a BB and have a question about what's normal. Want to make sure I'm not being paranoid.My manager wants me to send updates twice daily (morning check-in when I start, evening summary before I leave and this was something they had asked me from day 1) and now they've also asked me to let them know before I start each new task from my to-do list.I'm Gen Z and this is my first real job the one before was way chill and only was there for a year since graduating, so I honestly don't know if this is standard practice or not. For context, I've been there about 2 months and they've asked me to do this since I started. I try to do good work but I'm still learning the ropes.
Questions: Is this typical for new hires at BB firms?Any tips on how to handle these check-ins professionally?Is this their way of indicating performance concerns, or just standard onboarding oversight?
I want to show I'm reliable and can eventually earn more independence, but I'm also worried that is a sign that I might be put on a pip or they does not trust me enough. We are also in a small team with me being the sole analyst in it. the rest are VPs and directors and my staffer a VP. Thanks for any insight.
This is definitely micromanaging and seems a little sus. I’m not saying it’s likely you get PIPd and don’t get too paranoid here but the only time I’ve heard about this at my bank was someone who got PIPd
since you just started, I wouldn’t worry, you get some crazy micro managers. I was mid bucket or better every performance review and I had to work with one VP specifically who did this type of thing to everyone in the group. however, if you’re the only one this person is doing too it might be cause for concern.
To be fair, I am the only analyst and the only person below this VP (in terms of seniority)
