I got put on a PIP and have a quick question. I know that this is a death wish and I should quit. However, what are the repercussions of each action: quitting, and trying to go with it and eventually getting fired.
I know i’m not going to pass this PIP so i’m done for. But if I decide to quit on my own terms, can and would they bring up the PIP in future discussions with potential employers? Also, if I stay and get fired (so I can have some more time to look for another role), is getting fired from a job something that will impact my career moving forward?
I have been at the firm for a few years but want to plan my next step carefully.
I went through a PIP. Your firm won’t disclose anything besides employment verification. Getting fired really has no impact on your career. In fact it helps it because most people end up getting better jobs.
Should I just quit then? Or try to stick it out. This isn't a place I'd like to be at any longer.
This is not true it’s harder to get a job when you don’t have one I have friends who’ve been unemployed for >6 months now
I wasnt put on a PIP but it was something kind of similar. Then HR called me one day and said I was terminated and they'd pay out my two weeks. Not sure if you have FINRA licenses, but I dont think your U5 would reflect negatively since you didnt do anything illegal.
I would advise to start looking for new roles ASAP. Do you best at the firm, and give off the appearance of trying to overcome the PIP. You want to leave as good impression as possible.
I'm not sure how often potential employers do HR checks. I believe its just part of your background check, and you can list "do not contact" if you desire.
Regarding the U5, if you hold licenses, Section 3 if what youd want to look at. Ideally it would be Voluntary.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Should I even bother sticking it out if this is a place I absolutely fucking hate? The requirements are dictatorial and seem like they are just trying to push me out. How much better of a reputation would I get by sticking it out vs. just quitting on a good note? I'm really close to the firm and everyone likes me a lot but just performance issues.
Also, there's not really an HR at my place anyway.
I personally would chill until you get fired. Collect a paycheck and look for employment elsewhere while doing the bare minimum and keeping up appearances ( coming in early/on time to work, be positive, engage with everyone, etc) Goodluck !
Honestly, just start looking for a new job and do next to nothing at your current role. You’re getting cut - PIP is just there so they can terminate you for cause. I’d just get the severance and health insurance during unemployment period and move on. Of course, if you can get an offer, take it, but you can’t save your job once you’re on PIP
This is the correct answer. Do NOT quit, but do spend the majority of your time focused on finding your next role.
Usually with a PIP you are fired in like 3 months so you have time to search, and then hopefully collect severance while starting a new job soon after.
If you play it right you’re probably net positive in terms of money
