I work in the legal field and have been having issues at work due in part to the fact that I work in a pretty toxic environment, in part because this is my 1st job out of college and I am not sure I'm in the right field (I'm considering a career change) (there are also family health issues but I wont get into those). Anyway a new manager came in last year and I do not think he likes me (nitpicking on mistakes I make which when talking to coworkers, he doesn't mark theirs as mistakes).
Last December I got placed on a Performance Improvement Plan and the end date is coming up next week. I should never have signed it. Or rather I should have signed it writing "I acknowledge receipt" because I knew they were trying to push me out... the metric standards of improvement were too vague ("attention to detail", "communication") and they didn't show how these issues were being measured.
I am not sure if this is a good career fit (as noted above). I studied Econ in college so I've been applying into jobs using that ax well (data analysis, consulting etc.) I'm not sure if it is just this firm and I am not thinking clearly due to stress etc.
I've been applying to jobs since being placed on the Plan, had a couple 1st round interviews but no offers yet. I am pretty sure if I apply for UI (Unemployment) they will contest it and possibly win (they're lawyers...they've been documenting some mistakes which could possibly be seen as insubordination + I was late to work and didn't work the full number of hours required which was in my contract)
I do not want to end up in a bad situation financially. I don't have enough savings to tide me over for longer than a couple months. I could supplement income through part time work/ tutoring, though. Feb. is a good month for hiring, also, and I've been working with some recruiters so hopefully an offer will materialize soon (as long as I do not get bad-mouthed...)
I should have considered using FMLA as this job really has been impacting my mental health to the point where I may have qualified. I'm seeing a doctor next week anyway for my annual checkup so I can ask about it, but I think it may be too late, especially since I haven't been taking any anxiety meds or been to a mental health professional.
I'm worried about having a black mark on my resume/ for future job apps. Should I:
(a) resign next week (pros: can tell future employers I resigned, however HR may still disclose I'm not eligible for rehire (?), not using my supervisor as a reference anyway, he would say bad things - using a mentor/coworker instead
(b) let them terminate me (pros: possibly collect UI, however I think they would contest and dont think I could afford a lawyer to contest the claim; cons: I'm worried the places I'm interviewing with would find out and it would negatively impact my chances. Either way I am not sure how to best explain this to hiring managers, as the company culture simply wasn't a good fit for me, but I'm not if that sounds like I am deflecting blame or something).
For reference I'm 23 and this is my 1st job out of college. I'm still considering applying for law school.
