Okay, I ordered these shoes: [link] because they didn't have the others in my size.
So now I need to figure out what color to paint my toenails. Deep red? (My bouquet is going to be deep red roses.)
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

A question for the hivemind: I know the answer would vary from company to company, but does anyone know or can give me a guess about IF I sign the PIP paperwork, would that make me inelligible to transfer to another internal team?
I don't have to return the signed paperwork until Thursday. There are plans afoot to open a position on another team to get me there, but those plans won't be ready in just two days.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Good luck on the interview, Steph! And on the wedding stuff.
Hi Jilli! Rage on.

Jilli, in my experience it won't make it impossible but probably more complex. As a rule we would be hesitant to transfer under those circumstances because - and here I'm speaking in broad strokes and not you at all - HR et al see it as shifting a problem from one team to another. However, if new team/manager are on board, they can likely make it happen.

I have often seen that if you are on warning like that (whatever they call it) you can't transfer. But that said, I doubt whether you've signed it would make a huge difference in that case.

Yeah, signed or not isn't likely to be relevant.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Just to give another point of data on PIPs. I was placed on one the first year I was with Donlen/GM. Got through it, and 7 1/2 years later, I was running the division. It doesn't always mean the kiss of death. The people that mattered realized that my manager at the time was a micromanaging control freak. I wasn't blameless, but they also knew it wasn't entirely my fault.

That's my mascara! I'm a weeper and it's been hiding that from the world around me for years.

So, I've been having this more or less constant low to mid grade anxiety ever since I found out I didn't get the Beverly Hills job. I have even woken up at like 4 in the morning almost every night this week. I was really hoping for some financial stability . I can't handle the stress of freelance any more.
