Got put on a PIP recently and I'm already working on job applications. I have a few months before I'm out, so I'm wondering how one would make the most out of this situation? Alternatively, how do I make sure I don't make it worse for myself? How should I discuss what happened when I'm asked about my last job during interviews?

PIPs don’t matter. They’re solely for HR to get rid of you for cause if the business needs to for market conditions, and to justify not giving you a raise for work you were going to kill yourself trying to anyway. Take care of you, interview around, upskill, and work that network.

Certification

Have they given you tangible reasons and examples on past performance to share what necessitated the PIP?

What was the explanation for the pip? Though they usually are a soft launch of your firing, could still be good to address the issues they noted
