It was a low time for me. I would wake up and drag myself to work, hoping that each new day would be better. I was not in good terms with my manager; and despite the efforts I put into my work, I was solely valued for my numbers. Unfortunately, my numbers were not at their best. I was then put under a performance improvement plan (PIP) for one and a half months – five months after they noticed a gradual decline in the key performance indices (KPI) for our team that management had set.
