To my EY peeps, theoretically could you be a low performer and not be on a PIP? That makes the whole concept of performance evaluations/ PIPs useless if you are still gonna get laid off

Common. You know you could. There is plenty of low performers around who are not on PIP. Some of them don't even know bc we do such poor job of feedbacks

According to our last webcast and anecdotes flowing into the EY bowl from the past few weeks, yes.

I hate to be this guy. Being separated for performance is not being laid off. That is all.

Of course, there are plenty of low performers around who aren’t on PIPs. PIPs are a precursor to termination in good times. If there needs to be a headcount reduction, solely people on PIPs isn’t going to be enough.

Sometimes an individual can be a low performer without potential. In that case m, a PIP would be futile. Not trying to stress you out, just what I’ve seen. If you’re self aware you’re fine.
