Transistor seems to be OK. 2n2222a pinout is Emitter (1) - Base (2) - Collector (3).
Emitter will be pin 3 with the p2n2222a (PNP transistor)
.

Oops, I was indeed looking at the P2N2222A datasheet. It seems both are NPN transistors. To cause even more confusion, at least one retailer is linking their 2N2222As to a P2N2222A datasheet.
Jwillis:
The P2N222A and 2N222A are both NPN . The only difference is the PN222A is a plastic case and the 2N222A is a metal case. You have the plastic case . Pin 1 is collector ,2 Base and pin 3 Is the emitter.
2N222A https://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/P2N2222A-D.PDF
P2N222A https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/ST%20Microelectronics%20PDFS/2N2219A,%202N2222A.pdf
Besides you take you out put signal from the collector not the emitter.
your transistor is backwards

For extra confusion, there is also the PN2222A that uses the more common EBC pinout.

Being that it was posted in Beginners area of the forum, what did you honestly really expect them to say?

Maybe ‘Problem with my common emitter amplifier circuit’.
They have a scope so are probably a bit more advanced than a true beginner.
