Yep, I was put on PIP with impossible success criteria (no issues raised in PRs by senior engineers and no issues in code deployed to production - even if it was reviewed by senior engineers & QA) and fired (for failing that criteria) in 2 weeks.
I worked there for ~8 months in total.
- fullspectrumdev 3y agoThe impossible PIP trick for dismissal is something I’d love to see get eventually legally obliterated.
- globalise83 3y agoConstructive dismissal is illegal in many countries. It's the choice of the people which system they want to work in.
- fullspectrumdev 3y agoIt’s illegal where I am, but employers are extremely capable of abusing “performance improvement plans” as a way to constructively dismiss people - knowing most people won’t have the wherewithal to fight it in court.
