PIPs are a great indicator of business health.
They crank up attention when results are bad even when tell wall street everything is great.
So how is it looking for midyear? More pips? Less?

Didn't know you had something in common with gladiators, did you?
Just another PIP off the ole Nine Block.
About 10-20% must get pips every year to prepare for any necessary rif, layoff, etc. They want to have documentation when though not required in some states. It's beneficial for their lawyers.

If you are beating metrics, things must be too easy, the metric just get tougher. PIPs are used to protect friends and purge others. Hon always looking to purge older, higher paid folks and higher a contractor as a replacement.
There are actually a couple of good ways of surely getting a PIP:
1: Be the best on your team
2: Be in charge of your team

The PIP reduced my workload and allowed me to use the extra time to get a job at a better company.

Only if they quit in that short period between locking the merit raises in the system and starting the 1-on-1s.

Half the department has quit over the past few months, last one quit with less than a day notice, nobody wants to deal with the PIP lottery
