Dear All,

Approximately eight months ago, I joined a new company (5th of my career) The initial phase was promising, marked by a steep learning curve as I strived for productivity and commendable outcomes. My responsibilities involve document preparation and submission for managerial approval.

However, after five months, a monthly performance review initiated by my manager revealed concerns about my performance. The issues raised seemed minor and left me perplexed. Examples include omitting due dates when requesting information from other departments, occasional oversights in document details submitted for approval, and other minor details. I was not 100% accurate.

This monthly review cycle persisted, with minor issues magnified as major deficiencies. In the third monthly review, I was informed that I had failed, and my salary would be reduced by 30%. I was also notified that, in a different company, my employment might have been terminated. This development has led me to question whether these repeated observations are a deliberate strategy to justify a salary reduction.

I am actively exploring alternative job opportunities, but I am curious to know your perspective on whether this employer has the potential to change. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your new job wishes! Interestingly, my new job pays 5K more annually than what I used to earn before my current job's 30% salary cut. So, all in all, it turned out to be a positive development.
