They knew the PIP was really mainly an effort to terminate them when the expectations were just totally out of control or completely unattainable.
In some cases, people argue back on that and try to show, hey, this is not realistic.
Let's make this more realistic.
But often, again, that's kind of an indicator that the real goal of the PIP is just to get rid of you.
It generally does.
And that often means that they're then not eligible for unemployment insurance, which is another reason we often heard,
why companies may use PIP so that they can fire people for cause and then not have to pay out the unemployment insurance.
Now, it's very hard to find any proof of that, but it is true that it is considered fired for cause.
We heard so many stories from people who felt they had been wrongly placed.
People said they felt that their PIP was retaliation for speaking up about something, for voicing concerns.
retaliation by a manager who they didn't get along with.
So there are all kinds of reasons people feel that they've been placed on pips that they feel have very little to do with their actual performance.
If somebody feels that they've been unfairly placed on one, you can fight back.
You can bring documentation showing either why you maybe shouldn't be on a pip at all or
The fact that your manager maybe didn't manage correctly or manage appropriately or set expectations appropriately, and therefore the PIP shouldn't be applied.
Some people just say, OK, I'm going to go through this.
And they use that time.
It's often 30 days, 60 days, 90 days to just start looking for another job if they feel like the writing's on the wall.
And then in other cases, they apply themselves to the goals.
Maybe they've been able to negotiate some of those goals a little bit and try to get through it and survive.
