I joined Bosch expecting a supportive work environment but was deeply disappointed by my experience in the In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) team. The management here is a nightmare. The Group Manager (GR-M) is unpredictable, with mood swings that create constant tension. He pretends to be friendly but is manipulative and untrustworthy.

When I tried to transfer to another department to escape this toxic environment, GR-M blocked it with a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP).

Bro there are 100’s of posts here how disgusting it is to work at Bosch and yet you chose Bosch. Why? Is it because you had no other offers?
Anyway, now that you are in PIP, there is not much you can do. You will be terminated for sure at the end of 3 months. So don’t do too much work. I would say don’t do any work for more than 6 hours per day. And spend the rest of the time to learn, upskill, give interview and join some other company.

IVI! Of course, some things never change. If RBEI organized a contest for toxicity and incompetence, IVI departments would win the Top 10 each time.

Anyway it is hard to feel any sympathy for you. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. You have voluntarily entered a sewer and say that you were expecting perfume smell!

I believe you are not from TN.. TN people are having a very great time in that shitty department even though there is no project!

Hi, As a Person who Survived this LPM, I can say do your best in PIP and try to get a job outside. Though the market is shit. Never lose your hope.

The crazy part was that the receiving team was expecting me in five days. This piece of shit manager also said, “I approve this transfer,” then later put me in PIP for department count.

A lot of people are leaving the company as I could see the difference in the bike parking itself. I was in a department of 170 people now it's a department with hardly 80 people out of which 25 percent are in swc. A lot of lateral developers and experienced people with more than 10 yoe are put in pip, witnessed a lot, friendships are broken, shitty politics and some cases even gone till legal. Hoping that one day some new projects will come and the market will rise
