If you stay ready you don't have to get ready. Always have an exit plan.

I was never going to Quit I lived 8 minutes away. I was the only Dot.

Whatever you do don't Quit. Just my opinion. But you have to do what is best for you.

Quitting leaves you with very few options. You'll have no paycheck while you search for a new job. Your employer won't provide severance pay and you will usually be ineligible for unemployment compensation.

Maybe the lack of job fit or cultural fit is so glaring that you fear the long road to termination is about to begin.

Your employer needs to establish cause and avoid any hint of discrimination.

They needs to demonstrate that you have received performance coaching and that the appropriate steps in your company's progressive discipline policy were followed.

So, an exit strategy might appeal to your employer. No lawsuits. No acrimony. The unwanted employee is gone. An exit strategy may be the best path for both you and your employer.

You're a smart employee. You can read the small signals in your workplace. You didn't get a raise. Employees are complaining about you. The one-on-one's with your manager are increasing and growing increasingly focused on performance expectations and problems. You've checked out the signs to look for when employment termination is coming very soon.
