Hi, I am 29 years old female, working in a company in tech, in sales. I am with this company from 2024 September and the manager who hired me is unfortunately gone after my 9 months. Thankfully he signed the papers for me that I passed probation and etc.

There is a new guy came in, and I was feeling he was not respecting me as I am the youngest in the sales team. Many accusations like “haven’t you got in touch with this customer earlier” or “you should be more careful about this for credibility” etc

2 weeks ago, he asked me to come to the office, and mentioned that he is not happy with my performance and I am underperforming. I was surprised because I have completed %61 percent of my whole sales target for a whole year only in Q1 - I am obviously over performing.

He mentioned this is not a formal PIP, however he said he needs to see significant progress to not to make it to PIP. I didn’t do anything for PIP literally.

He wrote that into writing as well, saying that this is not formal PIP but he needed to see significant progress- those are in email afterwards.

So I am feeling that he is trying to make his way to kick me out, am I feeling right?

Note 1: I From previous sales team, me and one guy 12 years old tenure - we are the only ones left. The other are either let go, or left.

Note2: My last years target was 1.9 million euros, and I accomplished 1.78 and it is acceptable for my company to continue with 80 percent and above target completion. This year, he shrinked my yearly target to 900K - I was surprised but I said okay, easy peasy. Now I completed 564K at the end of March from that whole yearly target and he says “the progress is too slow”

Note 3: he wants me to report to him every week. I prepare what sales I am expecting to be closed. He asked “how can you be sure”

I am feeling like he is making his way to kick me out.

Any advice?

Can he really be a nice man and trying to train me? Don’t really think so but..
