They're worried about growth.
And so there's a certain amount of culling of
people.
And one way to do that without having a formal layoff, where in some cases you have to alert the government that you're laying off a certain number of people, it's very disruptive for companies.
What we found is that PIPs are often used as a quiet layoff to quietly let go of people who may not be considered long-term or be good at the job long-term.
Often there's a meeting called with the manager and someone from HR.
Often there's someone from HR there because this is a process that's often overseen by the human resources department.
Maybe you get called into a meeting.
It might be also that you've had some warning before, like your manager.
If you have a good manager, this should not come as a surprise.
This was a constant theme in our interviews.
A good manager will be pointing out things you need to work on along the way.
There might be interim steps before you get to the point of a PIP because a PIP is really do or die.
It usually says on the formal document that you receive when you're put on a plan, failure to meet these expectations or meet these goals could result in termination.
So at that point, this shouldn't be the first indication that you're having performance issues.
They can be all over the map depending on what your role is.
In some cases, maybe it's something as simple as you have to show up for work on time.
In other cases, you're given a long list of goals.
Sometimes they seem very unattainable.
We heard from many people that they knew the PIP was not real.
