I had a coworker be put on a PIP and get promoted. Some people do better with clearly defined goals and expectations

Second this - they can be a real advantage not only to employees but also managers because they bring clarity to the relationship

Agreed with SE1. To me PIPs done right have two things: clear expectations to help the individual grow, and they need to happen with either very good spirit or before the individual is burnt out by a grinding experience. To me a good manager will identify and start the PIP before the worker feels burnt, a GREAT manager will do so without the need of a PIP.
OP, if you're on a PIP, think of it as a fresh start and try not to let previous misconceptions or prejudices get it the way. Make sure expectations are super clear and crank it out.

I'm currently on implied status in Canada (applied for an extension before the expiration date on my OWP), but lost my job two months ago. I'm actively applying (and interviewing) for new opportunities. What's a good time to mention to a potential employer that I'm on implied status? I tried coming plain from the first interview, but that has been working against me. The CIC website says I can keep working with an expired WP and SIN but recruiters think otherwise. Help!!!

I often hear of people that got PIPed at Amazon. Frome what I find online, it seems to be a horrible state to be in.So, out of curiosity, how common is it for people, at Amazon, to end up in such a situation?Is is just based on your performance or do any other factors contribute to it as well? If it just depends on the performance, how badly does one need to fu*k up (according to the manager) to end up getting PIPed

Amazon Offer- Accept or decline?

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.
