Questions about NSI and PIL

I'm located in the United States and become eligible for retirement in September of this year.

  1. If I do not turn in a PDS, would that automatically get me put in the NSI bucket?
  2. Notification of NSI ranking would come sometime in July I believe. How long would I have to work after notification?
  3. Is October 31 always the last day on payroll for NSI/PIL? If not, what are the exceptions?
  4. Since I would not be RE during the time of ranking or NSI notification, would I be taking any unnecessary risks with this strategy?
  5. Should I discuss this strategy with my manager ahead of time or wait until the last possible minute?

Your thinking about this like the puny package is something to strive for. It's not. And you will be on their schedule, hoping to be in a PIP program whenever that might be. If the rumored PIP in April happens it is not likely they would do another one a few months later. It's better to do your job until you are ready to leave and then retire. Do you want references? I would suggest you do your best work and leave on a high note instead of intentionally being a problem employee.

Do the dang annual look-a-me.
Just clone last year's with a few tweaks and be done with it.
If it's your last one, make it fun.

  1. I would say 99% probably, yes.
  2. You would be given (probably) 14 days to make a decision - PIP or PIL.
  3. It depends on the company's timing plans. End of October would align with early July notifications (3-month PIP or PIL).
  4. Yes - definitely
  5. No. It would be extremely foolish to discuss this with your supervisor, ahead of time. You could be making the decision for them.

Knowing that you're going to be retirement eligible in September may mean that you have a big target on your back. I think that's what happened to me last July, when I was NSI'd and it was a complete surprise to me.

My recommendation - keep your plans to yourself (don't inform your boss) and complete your PDS requirements. With any luck, you'll be safe this year. You may have a better idea of how safe you are, but being NSI'd shocked a lot of people last July.

If you are NSI'd, then you have the choice of taking the PIP until September and then electing to retire. I don't think they can offer you PIL with retirement until you are actually retirement eligible. Therefore I think you would be presented with the choice of PIP or resigning with PIL.

Just fill the thing out but put minimal effort into it

I would say your worst case scenario is you get fired for cause for insubordination and lose your benefits. Unlikely, but a possible outcome. I think the risks far outweigh the benefit here. You’re at the finish line, don’t risk it as a middle finger to he company, no matter how messed up the place has become.

Haha I think your best bet is to think ahead for next year. Go RIP and they'll ask you to leave, presumably with a PIP if they cant nail you for cause
