If I get a bad rating and get put on a performance plan, I'm going to be demoralised. I keep trying to think of tuxedo Pepe and stop caring but it's hard.

Start looking for other jobs immediately. Assuming you aren't retarded and your company is actually mismanaged, which sounds like it is, They might railroad you regardless of if you perform well. So just start looking and take the job hop on the nose

Cool blogpost. Upvoted and subbed. Now kill yourself.

I am trying but the downside is that this is a comfy work from home job. I'm so bitter that I'm being forced out as money is wasted on useless normies.

I used to work two such jobs until May when one of them let me go through a performance plan just like you mentioned. The other one I've held for a few years now and they treat me like gold.

I've been having trouble getting a second work from home position though. I suspect it's because I don't want to hire white men and that the affirmative action rulings in the Supreme Court have made HR drones get particularly aggressive with the diversity hiring.

OP here. I just finished my performance review 5 minutes ago.

It..... went well...

this sounds like my exact job I just got let go from. they gave me nothing to do and my boss was totally inaccessible. yeah it's fucked, eventually as things slow down you'll get let go. I would start looking right away. I stayed at mine and just built my business on the side, so now I am in a weird spot where do I just go all in on my business or look for a new wagie job.
