I was hired for a CSM role, in the month of October. I was lacking certain skills in terms of basic communication. Usually, during my calls, I used to stutter very badly. We used to have mocks I used to put in my effort to the fullest. In the month of January on a client call, I stuttered mildly. The management found it really bad and decided to put me on PIP. I accepted their decision with utmost humility and decided to work on it. The results were visible in the form of improvements, which the management had appreciated. The company had decided on an annual trip in the month of February. I had initially denied the same due to the fear of PIP. Later, the person who was heading our team had asked me to go for the same and eventually agreed. All the above signals looked positive for me and had boosted my morale. Once I was back from the trip on Monday I had given my mock demo with the team, it was one of the best and my teammates had appreciated it. The very next day there was a separate call with my management, I was expecting something positive for the PIP result , well to my surprise they came up with the decision of letting me go. The reason was communication, bad fit. At the same time, the management had made such ironical statements like that I was really hardworking person ever since the day I joined. So if that's the case then why is the termination being made. I had a couple of questions for them like if the fit was not right, why was the hiring decision being made. They had no concrete answers for it. Later I asked them Why did you make such fake statements like the improvement is really good and at the same, I will be allocated more accounts once the PIP ends. They were speechless. As per their request, I dropped my papers marking 23rd March 2021 as my last working day. It was accepted by the company over email. On March 1st one of the members of the management team pings me on Whatsapp mentioning that my last working day was 23rd Feb and not 23rd March, I was surprised, a few days back these people had accepted my date of resignation as 23rd Mach on email, now coming back with such illogical statements. I made my stand clear by mentioning there is two months notice as per the engagement, at the same time termination happens due to bad behaviour or bad performance , I was being laid off since the fit was not right. Eventually after an argument, they agreed on my last working day.
