There are many businesses that could not define a PIP because they have no idea how to define performance. You can find one of these and hide for the rest of your career. If your PIP has milestones like 'write 10 emails per day' or 'participate in 10 hours of meetings per week', maybe you already found one of those companies. If you yourself struggle to define what 'performance' means in your job, isn't that a red flag all by itself? You can use this as an opportunity to understand the expectations of your employer (or at least your employer's agents). Or you can take this as a final confirmation that you are not achieving any personal fulfillment in this job. If you have to ask strangers, I sense you are quite lost in your current job.

> If you yourself struggle to define what 'performance' means in your job, isn't that a red flag all by itself? No? How do you define the performance of a doctor? Nurse? Teacher? Developer? Tech Support? Most of these roles have metrics that might seem like easy and foolproof ways to measure performance, but ask anyone that has actually worked any of these professions for more than 2 min, and you'll have endless tails of management fucking everything up by chasing a dumb number. If your job matters in the slightest, it's not that rare for performance to be wildly elusive to measure.

> you can take this as a final confirmation that you are not achieving any personal fulfillment in this job It's interesting that you say that because it's exactly what I realized from being put on a PIP and it was a large part of why, after being removed from the PIP, I quit a few months later.
