A1 is an idiot. Other EY's advice for this person? Our PIP processes might be different. Can she look for a different job while she is on PIP? I know it might change the visa process but maybe a new company any can support it?

Tell her to look for another job. A PIP is a pretty clear indicator that you don't ft in with the firm, professionally and culturally.

I was almost placed on one of these at my old job but it was clear they wanted to get rid of me and that the pip process was just an HR formality that they had to follow. Different companies probably do it differently but tell her to work hard and try to improve while also going balls to the wall with the job search. She should work under the assumption that she'll be unemployed at the end of the pip.

3 month PIP , not 9 month PIP .

It is possible to get off, PIP, if she can avoid working with that SM and have another in her corner.


However, chance for advancement drops precipitously

Performance improvement plan . She got into a tangle with her SM on last year's engagement and got a 2 . Now put on a PIP.

She's likely gone in 3 months. Is home that bad?

@ey 5 - Thanks . That's encouraging and in line with what I have learnt too . EY is different . You are on edge but not just going through HR motion. Going to impress upon her to set smart goals for the plan , have weekly counselor check ins and bust balls . HR meeting on Monday .

Don't be surprised in 3 months if she gets dismissed despite all of that. My colleague was on a PIP, was on a couple of projects where he received the highest ratings and was utilized (and met the numbers). A PIP is more for when they actually lay you off you can't sue for wrongful dismissal.

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
