How do they put him/her on PIP without OP even doing any bad work? I feel if the past reviews are bad - then it’s a case of PIP. If OP is on bench because the business is slow (projects delayed and usual cost cutting), then that’s normal

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.
