If you find yourself in a situation where your career is being sabotaged by a new manager, you’re not alone. Here are some practical solutions to help you navigate this challenging situation and regain control of your career.
## Understanding the Problem
Your boss has put you on a performance improvement plan for reasons that seem unfounded. Despite your dedication and hard work, you find yourself targeted by a new manager who is making it difficult for you to advance in your career.
## Document Everything
Start keeping detailed records of your arrival and departure times, as well as your coworkers’ schedules. This information can serve as evidence to dispute any false claims made against you. By documenting everything, you can protect yourself from unwarranted accusations and show HR the truth behind the situation.
## Seek Legal Advice
If you feel that you are being unfairly targeted and your career is at risk, consider seeking legal advice. An employment lawyer can help you understand your rights and options for addressing the situation with your boss and HR. They can provide guidance on how to navigate the performance improvement plan and protect your career.
## Explore New Opportunities
If you feel that your current workplace is no longer a conducive environment for growth, start exploring new job opportunities. Update your resume, reach out to your network, and apply for positions that align with your career goals. Don’t let one individual hold you back from achieving your full potential.
## Conclusion
It can be disheartening to face false accusations and unfair treatment at work, but don’t let it discourage you from pursuing your career aspirations. By documenting everything, seeking legal advice, and exploring new opportunities, you can take control of your career and move forward with confidence. Remember, you’re not alone in this journey, and there are resources available to help you overcome the challenges you’re facing.
Stay strong and stay focused on your goals. You deserve a workplace where your hard work is recognized and appreciated.💪🌟 #CareerGrowth #EmployeeRights #NewBeginnings
It may not be worth getting into. It really depends on what sort of HR department your company has. Many HR departments only really care about legal issues—and this isn’t a legal issue. Some HR departments care about issues of unfairness, some do not. Either way, you’re only legally protected in going to HR if it’s for reason like sexual harassment, racial discrimination, religious favoritism.
No one is ever “owed” a promotion. There are no “rules” they have to follow regarding advancement.
Essentially you’re asking for an “entitlement”. HR will not take that argument seriously.
Are you just on a pip for leaving early or something performance related? Attendance should be pretty easy to prove.
You tracking other people’s attendance won’t really end well for you. Your boss has a different schedule than the rest of the staff. If he’s letting others go early, there may be a legitimate reason and it’s none of your business. We don’t really play the “But he gets to do it, why not me” game in most companies. There’s reason why things are different for others and it’s not your business, it’s a private arrangement between worker and company. RE: there’s legal stuff that can be going on that you aren’t privy to. It is OK to have different attendance requirements for employees, it just can’t be based on discrimination purposes.
It sounds like you’re angry and it’s time for you to move to another company. It’s good to go interview for that promotion and when they ask why you’re looking to leave, it’s an easy “I am looking to advance my career.”
Yeah, it sucks when you get a new boss and you don’t gel with them. But the boss gets to run the department, including deciding if you should be promoted of if someone else is a better fit for the role. That’s his job. It hurts, it really feels super personal and it sucks on your side. But this is why you should never believe someone when they say you’re going to get a promotion, until you’re given the paperwork for it and move into the role. Promotions fall through a lot and for various reasons.
I would go back to the guy who said your promotion was still happening. He is still there, correct? Or is he gone too?
This story is too hard to follow.
If it’s in a PIP and it’s truly false, I would ask to meet with HIS boss and HR.
You have zero legs to stand on with the promotion promise, instead, refer to your previous performance being good enough that your old boss wanted to promote you.
Note: if you are on a PIP, they want you gone. So, you should internalize that. Also, instead of asking what you are being subject to rules that nobody else is, I would rephrase it as “Why am I being discriminated against?” – do this especially if you happen to be in a protected class. This will ensure you keep your job.
I’d go ahead and prepare a resume – it’s not looking good
You’re not owed a promotion. Period. In real life. In fake life. You’re not owed a promotion. You seem a bit delusional which may contribute to why the new manager wants you out.
Your options are to work the PIP and try to survive it while searching for a new job and hoping for the best or just keep doing what you’ve been doing knowing you’ll be fired.
Happen to me on the PIP I threw in disability discrimination, slander, libel, age discrimination everything you can think of, I didn’t sign it. They shut the F up
Don’t bother with HR. Aggressively look for a new job. Between this person’s attitude and the PIP, you need to understand the following statement: your company hired a new boss to make changes, the manager he hired above you wants you gone, and you have no future prospects at this company. The reason why you’re on a PIP and not gone, is probably that your old boss had started the paperwork to promote you, and his replacements can’t immediately fire you because of internal HR policies, so they have to PIP you first.
Start interviewing. Check your company handbook to see the cashout policy on PTO – if they don’t pay out on separation, start using all of it.
When you find a new job, start it ASAP with minimum notice to the existing company if any. Resign to HR, not the new boss. If you get an exit interview with HR, be honest. They likely won’t care, but sometimes someone does. You’ve essentially been fired. Accept that and move on.
> that I think I’m owed it (which I am)
You’re not, actually. No one is owed a promotion and the attitude that you think you do is palpable…and off-putting.
New managers are allowed to make their own assessments and his assessment of you is that you’re not getting promoted. Likely because of your attitude.
Stop tracking their time. You’ll be better served focusing on yourself.
Looks for the job you want at another place.
If you were going to be a manager, look for the manager role. Get your promotion… elsewhere.
You cant fix bad bosses, just move along.
I wad a golden boy at the firm. I attached myself heavily to my boss. Stood in their corner, unwavering loyal.
Guess what, he left one day. 30 days later, I was let go. The new boss, let me go day 1. Wanted his own shop. Literally said, go ahead and sue. Will cost you more then you’ll get.
End of story.
You aren’t owed anything. Work is mostly about influence and friends, over performance.
Goodluck.
OP, its ok. Let it go. Move to another company, you wont be starting from scratch, you have experience now. You’re gonna fly in the new place.
Zzz.$
If your “career is crushed”, why woud you care if he knows you went to HR about him? You’re fucked either way.
As someone that has been placed in a PIP, your career is not over. Just this one job. Time to find a new one because once you get a PIP is over.
Log everyone else’s time, whe they come to work, leave, go for lunch, etc . When you quit, tell them why and send the book to the President of the company, and tell them these guys are all stealing time
When a new manager comes into the company, that manager is granted power by the employer. The employer may consider your opinions or those of other employees about that person’s competence. But they don’t have to. So aligning yourself against the new manager based on your personal opinions and judgments of them is a very, very risky thing to do.
The manager isn’t required to work the same hours as you or make anyone else work the same hours as you. They get to exercise their discretion to manage–unless the people paying everyone says they don’t have that discretion.
If you want to, you can report everything you feel is inappropriate to the new manager’s manager. Maybe they aren’t aware of what is happening and when the new manager is coming and going. Just don’t be surprised if they are aware or don’t care.
This is an office politics situation. Whoever is most important to the company or has the most influence will come out ahead.
