Reddit has become a popular platform for employees to share their work struggle, office experiences and care in the workplace. Various subreddits have emerged as communities where employees can share their stories anonymously, ask for advice and make contact with others who face similar challenges. A Reddit user recently shared his experience to be unfairly placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP) only five months after their work, just because they refused to work on the weekend and during their leave. The mail has resonated with many, which emphasizes the issue of balance between work and private and unreasonable expectations in some workplaces.
The user called the name 'Iamsadsometimes1' described a poisonous working environment where the organization had a six -day working week, where managers expect that employees will work on Sunday to get tight deadlines. The user also shared their struggles with applying for leisure time, and emphasized the challenges of maintaining a balance between work and private life in such a demanding attitude.
On the message: “First things, my organization has only a Sunday off. And he told me he would like to see that.”

Pip attract because I had refused to work in my weekend and leaves

After returning from leave, the employee found his manager cold and far away. Later that day HR unexpectedly informed them that they were placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP) due to alleged insufficient performance. The employee expressed indignation, doubted the honesty and legality of this action and emphasized concerns about organizational power and accountability.
“As expected, I couldn't work during my EL and when I went back to the office yesterday, my manager was very cold and far in front of me when I came back. By the evening I received a phone call from HR that my performance had not been sufficient and that I had put Pip,” the user said.
“All this only because I refused to work during my leaves. This is just so confused that I can't understand how it can even happen legally. Do organizations have so much power that they can do what they can think they can? As an employee, do I have no legal use to spit through this company with such intimidation and toxicity?” The user added.
The post received a significant traction, received countless upvotes and led to a supporting response. Many users expressed indignation and offered words of advice, while some shared their own experiences with toxicity in the workplace. A user wrote: “Name and shame of such a company and that worthless manager. Those managers deserve a full chance. I wish the manager would also be fired and begs for a job.”
Another said: “Changing jobs is difficult, especially if you are only 5 months old, but that is only the permanent solution that I am aware. I don't have much to add, but I think you have to start watching anyway.”
A third said: “Nothing will ever work. Your hierarchy is poor and people are already slaves. They don't want you to disrupt their electricity and chain from so -called command. For your advantage. Start with better opportunities where you can breathe and get a better chance.
