Last time I got put on a PIP was for refusing an entirely unreasonable request to be on call, and leaving my work phone at home during that period.
I started making plans to resign pretty soon after being put on the PIP.
- denton-scratch 4y agoI dunno, can't you just say "Dude, if you put me on the PIP, I'll have trouble leaving. Since what you're proposing amounts to disciplinary measures, I'll be quitting anyway; so why make it harder for me to get a new job?" The dismissal process for underperformance here (UK) requires the employer to give warnings: one verbal, and two written, I think. The employer is also expected to help the employee meet the performance target. The PIP sounds like a checklist version of that help - it's not meant to help the employee, it's meant to hustle along the dismissal process. I'd take a job flipping burgers, rather than work for a boss that put me on a PIP.
- Kranar 4y agoQuitting and getting terminated have very different consequences. Quitting does not entitle you to EI and could jeopardize severance/termination pay. To lose those benefits due to termination the termination must be for cause, which comes with a very high standard that an employer is exclusively required to justify.
