Can someone fire you on call?

Hi folks, A friend of mine has been put in PIP. He's afraid he'll be fired at the end of it. He's not a bad performer. Just stuck with a toxic boss who can't lead but expects 100 things to be done simultaneously and that my friend is a mind-reader. What do you do if you're fired by the firm? What do you say in the interviews? It's just been 7 months in the role. How do you justify the subsequent gap that may follow. Appreciate if someone share any tips. TIA!

Been hearing this a lot these days where companies are firing a bunch of people and forcing some others to resign, to bring down the severance cost. What are these situations created by these companies which actually force people to resign?

I work at a small scale startup where I interact daily with the CTO whom I directly report. Recently, he has been giving tighter deadlines for critical projects at work and is not willing to discuss anything related to the scope or timeline of the projects. He just expects me to finish everything in x number of days without asking for even the slightest estimate of the duration. This has led to me missing due dates for projects which he later blames on me quoting poor performance during reviews. Has anyone encountered such problems before? How did you handle it?

Hi Guys, I wanted your opinion in 1 matter, I just resigned from a crappy company due to work pressure, mental health and extreme micro management and when I put down the papers, the a**hole on a call told me that during my notice period, my performance should not drop because if it does, then the HR will be involved. He also told me one story where a guy absconded due to mental health from the company and we have not given his relieving letter due to it. This company has a 3 month notice and he has said that after my replacement comes, then he can release me early. My question is that as long as I show up, I won't abscond, do my best, do the work as the mental health allows, can this a**hole do something with my relieving letter, like not give it to me. I think he already knew that I'll bring the mental health angel and told me that story to threaten me indirectly. How should I work in my notice, he is expecting 100% from me even in notice period and I think he'll try to threaten me if I can't deliver his unrealistic deadlines. What can this a**hole do?

Despite meeting all targets, I've been put under PIP. The HR is saying that I have one month to improve my performance or I'll be asked to leave, and that too without severance. I just want to know if there are similar policies at your company? Means are you not eligible for severance if you are being asked to leave under PIP?

My Manager told me that I am not performing well and indirectly threatend me that I would be put in PIP. I am really tensed and not able to function properly. I anyways don't like my manager and trying to find a new job since last 3 months but nothing is working out. Not sure how to deal with it and what to do...
