Wouldn't that be extremely bad for the company? If virtually all PIPs result in firing, wouldn't it be trivial to argue that either 1) the company is misusing

If virtually all PIPs result in firing, wouldn't it be trivial to argue that either 1) the company is misusing PIPs as a stealth way to fire people, or 2) the company is completely incompetent when it comes to providing PIPs that actually work.
With most European labour laws, neither option is very good for the company.
- me_me_me 3y agoTrivial, how? A corpo lawyer will tell judge they agreed with employee on improvement plan to guide and help them prevent firing. They did all they could to help them. How will you prove that you were fired before pip was put in place? How will you argue the whole pip system is set to fire people? (Similarly) It is open secret politicians steal public money, why don't we just lock them up for stealing?
- jameshart 3y agoNo, because there is actually such a thing as a bad employee. Labor laws are not a get out of jail free card for being bad at your job. Firing people is not actually illegal. PIPs actually work if they provide evidence that someone actually cannot do the job they were hired to do. That all the employees put on such PIPs fail would be evidence that they are doing a good job of identifying bad employees to fire, not that they don't actually know how to improve performance.
