In Reply To: I got put on an 8 week work improvement plan after my end of year review. I put in 40 hrs a week max - at 41k/yr, i'm not gonna kill myself for these guys - so i expected the WIP. My question is whether anyone actually survives a WIP? Is it just a formality before they fire you? The rumor is that it doesn't matter at all what you do after being placed on a work improvement plan, you're as good as gone... i hope somebody in a position to know can shed some light on this... Thanks
Message: to get on a WIP.. once you're on, and they fire you, you can't even claim unemployment - because it'll be a performance related issue. That is Hewitt's way of avoiding unemployment cost. Did that to a friend of mine -tried to do it to me, but I left before the WIP started, and got another job by then.
