Idk this take seems like a wildly one-sided approach in favor of the incompetent manager. Where is their giving in? Where is their improving to the situation? When I'm not performing, I get put on a PIP, if they are not performing, it suddenly becomes my job to help them save their ass? Am I missing something? This advice sounds like something a terrible first level manager would gaslight their direct reports into believing in order to get a free ride. | |||||||||||||||||

Well, you aren't in a position where you can put them on a PIP. Someone else can (and maybe should), but you can't. So what are you going to do? Are you going to just grit your teeth in a lousy situation? Are you going to leave? Or are you, first, going to try to do what you can to fix it? Trying to fix it first is, IMHO, the right thing, for several reasons. It's right morally. You're trying to do good to the people around you. It's right in pragmatic terms, too, because it may work, and if it doesn't, you can still leave. And it's right just in "leave your options open" terms, because it adds one to the list of options. | |||||||||||||||||
