This sounds like horrible advice for anyone who wants to excel at their work.
From a management perspective, 1 and 2 are no good and will result in 3.
Programmers I know are pretty good and have multiple opportunities. If you suck and just want to hang on, then you could do this.
But if you’re good, then it’s best to avoid a PIP. Or if you get on one, figure out why and correct it. Or, easiest, just take one of the other offers and work somewhere where you’re in better sync with management.
Of course, you’d never want to quit without a new job lined up.
- justahuman74 3y agoIf you're already on a PIP then your manager simply doesn't believe in you. Using the time to look for a new job is 100% the correct action
- ionwake 3y agoThis man is correct
- prepend 3y agoRight, but that’s the same advice as quitting.
- Jcowell 3y agoQuitting means you don’t get unemployment. if it’s an honor thing you’re arguing than sure , but honor doesn’t pay the bills and fees your family.
- ToxicMegacolon 3y agoYeah. Its called quiet quitting. The difference is that legally a quiet quitter is still an employee and gets paid to do job search.
- winrid 3y agoYup. It's a last resort. If they just wanted you to improve your performance, they wouldn't include HR.
- barbazoo 3y agoYou're talking about FAANG PIPs, not what good managers would do that want to retain and develop good developers. PIPs it sounds like can't be recovered from realistically so it's time to move on. Maybe to a company that maybe even gives at least a little shit about you.
