Start looking for another job now. Leave when you find a position you're excited for or get fired. Surprisingly it only took me 2 weeks when I was in your situation and I'm so grateful that I left

Depends on how big is severance to see if it is worth it to wait till fired

I thought you weren’t eligible for a severance if you get cut for performance? Isn’t the PIP a warning and record of bad performance and then when they get fired it’s because they couldn’t get it together and improve? I wouldn’t think a firm would pay severance for that. I thought severance was for lay offs when the employee did nothing wrong?

like

Yeah you're right. Companies often PIP instead of fire because they can avoid paying severance that way

Definitely look at exit opportunities. Life’s just too short and PIPs are hard to come back from (but it’s possible). And if you can’t find other jobs that fit? You can always fall back on severance.
