I only learned about what is a Performamce Improvement Plan (PIP) from managerial training at my BigCorp.
Assuming it works pretty consistently across the industry, a PIP basically means you are slated to be fired.
Circumstances may change, and by all means pay attention to and try to improve the metrics they ask you to improve, but don't hold any illusions. You are almost certainly leaving that job in the next year one way or another.
You should try to leave on your own terms, i.e. find another job and submit your resignation.
- nine_zeros 3y agoMy advice is to let them fire you. Waste the managers time until the last day so that they suffer during that time as well. Once you are fired, you can apply for unemployment benefits which is paid for by the insurance of that company. If they are not willing to treat employees humanely, it is fair game for employees to not be honest with them.
- dzdt 3y agoBusiness relationships are not zero sum games. There is no benefit to you to making them suffer (besides I guess some temporary pleasure in the vindictiveness?). Focus on what helps you long term; if there are relationships with individual managers you can keep a good relationship with that can come back around as a future benefit. But mostly know from the corporate perspective this is "just business" and you should look out for your own interests not theirs.
- nine_zeros 3y agoExactly, it should be taken as "just business" from an employee perspective. From employee perspective, they should capitalize on the fact that the pay will disappear soon. So might as well use that time to benefit their own future, much like the employer is doing.
