I would rather choose PIL. This seems like a much better option.

PiL is best, but it all depends on the circumstances.
For example, i pulled the american beauty card on my immediate supervisor.
Why did he mention my high-rise jeans? Was that a pass?
After a brief discussion, got an extra three months pay out of that.
The letter was delayed.
You people really need it spelled out for you. 8% in 2020, another 8% in 2021. Add in the retirees and everyone that left.
NI and NSI from 2021 is gone. In mass. If you are sitting on G/VG, good luck.
Time to start recording every conversations with your manager from on. In case if they are giving you kudos right and saying you are doing great work and after ranking they change 180 and give you a BS for Pipping you play the recordings and also leak the recordings to the world exposing Exxon.
I took pip, interviewed while doing pip, found a new job, took PIL immediately, got last month of PIL with with double pay
Attrition is so high and headcounts are so low across the corporation, you’d probably have to go Will Smith on your supervisor to not pass a PIP these days. Having said that, what have you seen to indicate that the culture will improve any time soon? Take the PIP, but use the three months to perfect your resume and find something better.
What is a PIL?
Depending your age, you have either 5 days or 3 weeks to make your decision. Keep that decision close to your sleeve until the last day. Assumes this hasn’t changed since last year.
Start looking ASAP… Hopefully, most of you ranked VG or lower is already looking.
Try lining something up to take the PIL and get two paychecks. Just do not update things like LI or tell anyone.
Also, it may benefit those to save that vacation time in case you need to use some for interviews.
Worse case, start with PIP, do whatever BS they make up, continue to look and switch to the PIL if you can line up another job before the end.
Otherwise, like the another poster mentioned, if you pass the PIP, use up whatever vacation you have left in 2022, and hopefully find something new that you can start that first week or two in January.
But really, anyone in that VG bucket and below should have resumes going out May/June to start lining up interviews. Worse case, you pass on the offer/interview if you squeezed by another year….
PIL. Wouldn’t give them the gratification of playing along.
If NSI, you will have a couple weeks to make decision. Find another job, take PIL and get double pay.
Oil up. Industry hiring. PIL.
Agree with @yll+1g09IjQD
Go with pip, do job search in parallel. Chances are you pass PIP unless supervisor has a grudge w you. Arrange w new employer to start after Dec holidays. Then resign Jan 1st to get whole year 2023 vacation entitlement.
If you’ve got an easy way to find something else, take the PIL and relax a bit. If your job search is likely to take much longer, you might put up with all the ridiculous BS involved with the PIP, but watch your supervisor for clues about the outcome, which is of course preordained, like everything else in this company.
The most important thing is to get the message: once you’ve been put in NSI, look for something else, you’re finished at EM.
PIP. Just do your job as normal. Odds are you pass. Pass then look for new job. Just my opinion.
