In 2022 I led the team in sales and 130% overall attainment and hit 50% in Q1.
Much to my surprise I was put on a Pip to hit 80% of my Q2 number in April or be shown the door. I hit 60% and had the rest of quota at the finish line and I thought that was going to be enough for them to give me some leeway, but I got let go for performance.
I was pretty shocked when I received the news, and no one in my network had heard of something that drastic. The company has had a history of churn with about a 40% employee churn rate as a metric.
For some extra color, I had a vacation and an abnormal number of life events, weddings etc. and some of my performance slipped a bit, but when my manager mentioned it I rectified some of the attention to detail items.
I was curious as to how you guys would frame this in your next set of interviews?
