    Update - I still have a job but my work standard has been slipping and they’ve noticed. Directors told me I won’t be progressing to where I want to get within the business and so I should think about moving on. Then they offered to help me with finding a new position - using their contacts etc. Has anyone previously told their employer they’re planning to leave before they actually resign? I feel like this is a trap.

      If they aren’t happy, and you aren’t happy, and they can find somewhere for you to go and no longer be “their problem” that’s honestly probably their best option.

        Well they read me a list of all of these things I’ve done wrong in their eyes over the past few months. Some of which was just not right but I shut up and took it for the most part. I guess telling me what I did wrong was support? I dunno. The forum for delivering their message in a super serious meeting didn’t feel like support, it felt like being disclipined. Then told me that you must not be happy here and we can help you move on. I didn’t get the sense they wanted to do anything to improve outcomes, they just want me gone. A really shitty situation.
