Do you think you can reasonably abide by the conditions of the PIP and improve? Or do you feel like it's pretty unreasonable and there's no point? Either way, I would start applying for other jobs. From what I've heard, it's usually endgame.
Conversation Starter
My husband put 2 people on a PIP. One eventually got let go because he didn’t change but the other is still employed.
I'm sure it happens, but I've never seen it personally. PIPs are usually a death sentence. Your best bet is to start updating your resume and applying elsewhere while you still have a paycheck coming in.

You’re definitely not alone—being put on a PIP is stressful and can mess with your head. It *is* possible to come off one, especially if expectations are clear and documented, but it’s also smart to protect yourself in parallel. Focus on addressing the feedback head-on, ask for very specific success criteria, and keep records of everything. At the same time, updating your resume and exploring options doesn’t mean you’ve given up—it just gives you leverage and peace of mind. Either way, this doesn’t define your worth or your career.
Rising Star
In any case, I’d start looking for another job. It is definitely a tactic employers use to coach people out. Play along with the PIP until you find another job.
