Friend got fired - VENTING
Turns out they were on a PIP I had no idea about. They had been with the company less than a yr. The PIP was for desk management and metrics. We all know when your desk isnt right your metrics arent right (most of the time). They didnt have the right guidance on how to task things. I began helping them but because we arent able to retask it was going to take additional work. I had no idea they were on a PIP. Their metrics were actually better than mine. After they were fired, I began comparing my metrics to others on the team. I found that this guy who has been with the company over 20yrs is not hitting any of his numbers. In fact, He has 3 pages of overdue activities all the way from March. Now I know he could be on a PIP himself for all I know but I just still do not think its fair this newcomer was fired. The guy who isnt hitting any metrics always has the most to say. I wish I wouldve been able to help sooner.
