On average, do most employees who are put on a PIP get mad and quit?

A start classmate of mine got a pip for what definitely seemed to be a more targeted/made up reason from her crappy engagement manager than just overall poor performance. She got mad in the beginning but she channeled it into her work so well, she became a top performer within weeks. It's been 5 years since then and she's never been thought of as anything but the best we have.

Definitely not! It's something we laugh about now since the manager who did it to her got fired for cheating on the ethics stuff a few years back. Best revenge is a life well lived as they say. Unfortunately most pips just don't end well.

At my old job, I got a pip from a new COA that replaced my boss who hired me. Since then, things went down hill and I wasn’t a big fans of him because truly he was incompetent. I got an insight that he was told to leave the firm and he got this position cause he was friend with my old boss. Anyway, I got the feedback that I was very quiet and not communicating. All because I was just doing my stuff and keep it all in. Since he put me on pip without even clear plans, I wrote my own plans and I started picking up on his mistakes and documented them both via email or during a meeting. At the monthly checked up I request HR to present and showed him the pip that he signed and my documentation. He dropped on the same day and leave me alone. I switched to a different group few months later and my current boss told him
How happy he was with my performance. During a company event he was trying to bring me back, the audacity. 🙄
