What to do? Please help /u/AdditionalAd173 CSCQ protests reddit

So I was interviewed at a small hft firm for the role of a CPP dev last year through on campus placements. Although there was a bond of 1.5 yrs(including 6 months internship) but since I was interested in cpp development, I was okay with the bond. I did great in the interview and was selected. When I joined the company in Jan this year, I was informed that I’ll be joining the devops team(a team which consisted of just one intern before I joined). I had some apprehensions which I informed to my manager and hr and they told me that I am free to leave if I want and they can discuss about the bond amount.

This was my first job and there aren’t many CPP dev roles, so I continued with the job in devops. I was learning new things but the work was quite boring(little to no logic building and very less coding). I used to work independently of my mentor(or as I used to think). I helped them setup their backup process, sonarqube integration, Jenkins pipelines, monitoring servers, etc. I wasn’t very happy but I was working for money. Recently I was told by my manager(who is an AI enthusiast and thinks that chatGPT can solve everything) and HR(who is always rude to me maybe because I don’t do boot licking and also because of the initial confrontation regarding the role) that my performance is not upto the mark. This came as a surprise because last month only my mentor(an intern) told me that I was doing good and being newbie to devops, my performance was good. They told me that my work is not upto the mark and that I do not work independently. I tried to talk to him but he wouldn’t listen a word, so I kept shut.

Now they have told me that I have 15 days and after that they will decide my future with the company. I got to know that this is how this company functions. It is a hire and fire company. They hire many interns(cheap labour), get their work done and then fire most of them. Only people who are extra ordinary and are ready to get exploited are retained. They expect you to work 24/7(there are people in here who do that) and the culture is really toxic with lots of politics. I had very few friends over here and I used to talk less(I am very talkative with my friends in general but the environment is really depressing here). Now most of my friends have been fired. I feel kinda depressed.

I want to leave this shit hole but my family is forcing me to stay(money and gap on resume). I was always interested in development. I don’t want to stay but I am a bit scared seeing the current job market. I am decent at leetcode and cp. I haven’t done a lot of development but I have started learning and developing projects.

Many of you might think that if manager wants to fire me and I also wish to leave then what is the problem? The problem is that ik that if I give my 100%, they’ll keep me, I can do good work. But I don’t want to not in this domain, where everything is so repetitive.

What if I leave and don’t get a job? Please guide me what to do as I am feeling a bit lost. Please help a brother out🥺

TLDR – manager wants to fire me, I also want to leave but will it be fine?
