Currently on one as of end of the year, I had a few offers but am not the type of person to give up so I worked hard to improve on the points they mentioned. Got a good YE review from my team after they noticed significant improvement

Seen multiple come through them and be better. If they are used properly then they can be a tool. If you supervisor aren't will to work with you or you are unwilling to accept change then you should leave anyway

I think anyone on a PIP should quit. Otherwise everyone knows you as the person that wasn't good at their job (whether or not that's true).

And it doesn't really matter if you improve, if you're out on a formal plan it's to get you out not to help you improve

It's to get documentation to protect the firm from legal liability. If they have it documented that you're on a plan to improve your performance, it's very unlikely wrongful termination will hold up

PIPs are honestly not that common. At least, not as common as this app makes them out to be.

@PwC1 So you're suggesting anyone on PIP should quit because no matter what they are fired?

@OP Got a bad review recently. I doubt a PIP will come since this is my only job. Termination is in order!

OP yes, that's exactly what I'm suggesting

What is PIP

From my experience, putting someone on a pip is to make them leave. But does anyone know why? Why can't it be used for improvement purposes only?

It's basically the last step to get you out

Once you're on a PIP, it may not be possible to prove you're improving. People only see what they want to see. Plus, even if you're not fired directly because of the PIP, when they go rounding people up for layoffs, you're first on the list.

Echoing Deloitte 1: what is a PIP? Performance blank plan?

PwC 1, what if you improve according to all your points on the plan and that's in writing in your review and then they fire? Wouldn't you then have grounds for to sue for wrongful termination?

I'd check your contact though senior manager and above may have a case anything below it probably won't. Honestly depends how much of a stink you put up the firms don't want bad publicity so they make those files pretty solid.

At KPMG, was going to go up for M last year but it would have been a tad early (only 2.5 years at senior) so I decided to push it back to this year.

I pour a lot of time and effort into my job and this felt like a true sand banging. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it firm being cheap w/ the current economy? TIA.
