Aren’t performance improvement plan’s really meant to give the employee a task that’s representative of what they are failing to do, so they will fail, and then you can fire them with proof of poor performance?

I know exactly one person who ever survived that process. I know a lot who were fired and found the whole process to be humiliating from start to finish.

I got a PIP and my boss couldn't explain what it was for and what I needed to do to improve. So yeah, they're bullshit and I won $10k.

Kinda hilarious given that the name "performance improvement plan" explicitly says it is a plan, so it really needs to tell you, you know, what to do.

Good job getting that bag. Fuck em for treating people like disposable equipment.
