PIP stands for "Performance Improvement Plan". I don't have experience with one, but from what I've read, it sounds like management-speak for "We're going to find a reason to fire you". Michael O. Church has an interesting perspective [0]: """ Most people think of “performance improvement” as something well-intended, because they take performance to mean “how good I am at my job”.... However, that’s not what “performance” means in the context of a employment contract. When a contract exists, non-performance is falling short of an agreed-upon provision of the contract. It doesn’t mean that the contract was fulfilled but in a mediocre way. It means that the contract was breached.
