Is a PIP a Second Chance or Just the Beginning of the End?

My husband just told me he’s been put on a Performance Improvement Plan at work, and honestly, I’m struggling to stay positive. He’s trying to see it as a chance to prove himself, but I can’t shake the feeling that this is just the company’s way of easing him out. If he does everything right, will they really keep him? Or is the decision already made? I’m worried about how this will change things with his coworkers, too. Will they start treating him differently, like he’s already got one foot out the door? The stress is eating at both of us, and I can’t help but imagine what happens if he does lose his job. Our whole life could get turned upside down. Has anyone else been through this? How did you handle it? I could really use some advice right now. 😟 #WorkplaceStruggles #CareerAdvice #JobSecurity #JobCareer
