I’ve only been at my current position for 3 months and my manager has been actively targeting me in an attempt to either make me quit or create a paper trail so she can fire me.

Last week she basically put me on a PIP without saying that’s what it was and without an end date. She increased my daily metrics to an unrealistic standard and told me I need to send in a daily EOD report detailing what I did that day. Since then, she’s been finding little things to write me up about (like accusing me of not working last Thursday because I didn’t make any cold calls or do anything she could track to show that I was working).

I accepted another offer but my start date isn’t until June 29th so I wanted to stick it out at my current job for a few more weeks and collect these last few paychecks, but I don’t have it in me to play her game any longer. I didn’t even send my EOD report today because I didn’t do anything today. I was a few minutes late to a pointless meeting and just ignored her Teams message asking me about it.

How long can I get away with this until she does fire me? Is that the best course of action, just keep doing the bare minimum and refusing to meet her unrealistic expectations in the meantime?

I started a new recruiter position in March. The first 2 weeks consisted of training but I don’t feel like I learned very much from it, so I’m still having to learn as I go. As soon as I got out of training, I was bludgeoned with KPIs before I ever had a chance to learn the processes of the job or even get ramped up. I’m expected to make 75 calls a day/375 calls a week from our outdated internal database, as well as post 5 job posts a day/25 a week.

Randomly, last week, I was asked to send a detailed report at the end of every workday about what I did that day. They increased my KPIs to 10 job postings a day instead of 5, on top of making 75 calls. I thought I did okay last week given how these new goals were sprung on me, and ended up surpassing my weekly call metric, sending my first submission and getting an offer today.

At the end of the day today, instead of celebrating my offer, my manager asked me to join a call with her and HR. She accused me of not working last Thursday because she couldn’t track anything to prove that I had been working on my goals that day. I tried to explain that there were 2 days last week I was working until later that evening and how I even worked on Saturday to meet these new expectations but she just kept coming back to Thursday and accusing me of not being trustworthy. She asked me to sign documentation agreeing to send daily progress reports by EOD and if I’m unable to meet my 75 call goal or 10 job posting then I need to explain why.

I feel like I’m being set up to fail and pushed out. I still rely on the goodness of my coworkers to help me figure out how things work because my team lead and manager are never available to help, then as soon as I do start improving, they start accusing me of not working on random days or finding other things to penalize me for. I’ve never worked anywhere where I was micromanaged so much so early on. I have a final interview tomorrow with another company but I just hate dealing with this.
