“Strive to be earth’s best employer” isn’t a leadership principle. - oh shit, it is now! My bad!
And “instruct managers to hide from employees when they're on a PIP”
This is not as clear cut. The document cited by Seattle times clearly states to not go into details of the Focus application, and instead go into how they can improve.
A quote:
“Do not discuss Focus with employees. Instead, tell the employee that their performance is not meeting expectations, the specific areas where they need to improve, and offer feedback and support to help them improve.”
- teachrdan 5y ago“Do not discuss Focus with employees." I don't know how much more direct this could possibly be. The only time the policy allows managers to tell employees they're on a PIP is if the employee asks directly. That's literally hiding the truth as much as they possibly can without actually lying.
- kindall 5y agoIf your manager is telling you that your performance is lacking and that you need to improve in specific areas, how is that really any different from being told you are on a PIP, and the rest of that? That is, what would you, as an employee, do differently if you were told specifically that you had been placed on a formal PIP, rather than just being told how you needed to improve?
