How common is PIP in consulting? When someone is fired in consulting, is it normally preceded by a PIP, or is that the abnormal case? (Talking firms 1000+ people)

If I ever get a PIP, I will start looking for another job...To me, the firm is just buying you time.

Got it, yeah, consulting completely different

We’re a mix. We will put people on PIP if we think there is a chance that they can improve and “graduate” positively. When we think there’s no chance of that, we don’t go through a PIP process.

I have seen people successfully make it through PIP and get subsequent promotions. And of course people where we part ways.

pips seem to be used more for off cycle terms. also, onced pipped, recovery is likely < 10%

As D1 mentions, PIPs would generally line up with a poor review cycle. I haven’t been close enough to many of the people I know that were let go to have candid conversations about how it went down but if I had to guess I’d say a slight majority of folks don’t get the “luxury” of a PIP before separation.

I wish I would have had this bowl ten years ago 😔 I recently was diagnosed with ADHD. I have been able to manage this far with coping mechanisms but I recently got divorced, have four kids and a busy job with a lot of aspects that are new to me. Now I may get fired for “lack of attention to detail” and “missing deadlines.” I wish I had looked into this so much earlier. I’m two weeks into taking Wellbutrin but I think it takes awhile to kick in, my psychiatrist suggested starting with that…

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?

I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.

They offered me 2 weeks of severance pay and I negotiated it to 3.

I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭
