Your question is cynical at best, but probably a sad attempt at derailing the discussion. Instead of talking about the well documented systemic torture of Palestinians you want us to discuss the technicality of whether it’s possible or not to lose x KG in Y days. Let’s say it’s only possible to lose x-1KG in Y days. It won’t change anything about the fact that there are ten thousands of Palestinians who have been detained & tortured by an ethno nationalist settler colony that is currently genociding Palestinians.

There are many reports of torture. Starvation is one of the more harmless things they’d do to you. Here’s a detailed account dating back to the 70s: https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-187447/

There’s also a whole Wikipedia article on the history of torture that Palestinians have experienced. This article is easy to find.

There’s also a detailed report on this by Amnesty International. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/11/israel-opt-horrifying-cases-of-torture-and-degrading-treatment-of-palestinian-detainees-amid-spike-in-arbitrary-arrests/

I find it very cynical to question such a well documented, systemic abuse that has been going on for decades. You can easily find before/after pictures of Palestinian detainees. There’s really no need to make up or exaggerate anything when reality „does the job“ well enough.

Western values like what? Is that why we’re genociding Palestinians in Gaza, and now starving & freezing them to death through cutting the funding for UNRWA?

Please explain to me what you mean by western values and why you think we’re upholding them.

Exactly

Not Amazon but some other not so well known place like that yeah.

Good to know! I worked in finance & consulting before and have never really seen it there or heard of it. Maybe I got lucky with the areas I was working in.

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful comment. I did what you said and submitted the PC version via Slack and Workday and offered to provide additional input if needed via voice call but they said it’s not necessary.

So I’m sticking to the official version. No idea what’s gonna happen with the PIP, I wasn’t affected by the last round of layoffs but maybe it’s gonna happen now during performance review.

I also hate the office politics, but learned a lot about it from being PIPed and likely (?) surviving it.

I kind of thought the same so I tried to be as objective as possible and submitted the feedback

Thanks for the idea, I’ve actually done that to make sure everything is as PC as possible and formulated in a positive way and decide to submit the feedback.

This. Some tech company bs. The measures compiled into it are often vague or impossible to achieve. Mostly it’s a tool to create a paper trail for firing you. They will say that you didn’t manage to achieve the goals of the plan, hence you’re fired. Sometimes people survive it. Sometimes it’s also genuinely meant to help improve your performance. One could argue that if you have a good feedback loop with your manager it won’t ever get this far, so mostly this tool is just used to get rid of unwanted people. Some companies have a quota of people to be put into this, e.g. Amazon.

It‘s the skip level of my former manager who’s reaching out now, but otherwise correct. Yeah my concern is about confidentiality and possible retaliation. Like it would be helpful to share the feedback but not at my own expense. So I guess I’m trying to weigh the risks here.

Honestly we just didn’t get along. I can handle many things but not the micromanaging, overtly enthusiastic type of manager where you can’t be sure you’re even getting credit for your own work.

Only rational reason would be that others may not have to deal with bad management. But honestly not a hill I’d be willing to die on.

Hmm the thing is me and some other team mate got roasted so badly that I would say all of this to his face, as it’s all packed nicely into fluffy diplomatic corporate speak. It’s pretty bad feedback anyway and other than me getting revenge I’m thinking there’s probably nothing for me to win but potentially the impression that I’m backstabbing? Idk
