Long story short, I am being entered into Pivot. I more than likely will be taking the Leave option as I no longer feel that my org is a place I’d want to continue working, but I wanted to hear if anyone has any advice or can share their experience if they fought a Pivot.

To be clear, I don’t want to fight the pivot even if the rationale provided is dubious at best. If anything, I’d like to negotiate up the number despite the letter advising it is non-negotiable. I have been with the company nearly two years, and I have a lot of invested RSUs and my sign on bonus for my salary ends in July.

For context, I went on a medical leave in October. When I had left, I was under no sort of focus review. Myself, along with 75% of managers in our org were moved into an individual contributor role in June of last year, and I had been meeting all metrics.

When I returned from leave at the end of October, I was apparently placed on Focus. This wasn’t obvious to me as I was also moved teams and was under the impression the increased 1:1s were for the transition.

The timing of this all seems suspicious, and the rationale for the pivot is flawed if not outright incorrect in some areas, but I no longer want to work here. Is there any merit to getting a lawyer? Have you gone through pivot or know people who have? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
