Theoretically, PIP should help individual employees get back on track and get more successful at their job. In practice, we all know that this is just a way for company to get rid of employees.
It is impossible to know for sure, but I am interested in what percentage of employees survive PIP?

Anyone know if DW was NSI last year?
He should have been because he Needs Significant Improvement.
Zero indication he improved.
He probably put on his PDS that he is the sole reason EM stock price increased.
Some have to survive so that the PDS process can stand legally and not be labeled as a layoff. Supervisors know before they even go behind the green door who they will NSI.
Management would prefer all of those put on PIP to leave via PIL, it helps the ultimate goal of reducing headcount.
This is a 100% HR developed process under direction of HQ then handed off to supervisors to implement. Truly horrible process
Remembered hearing >90% passed PIP globally, however the LT didn’t know how many stayed after PIP ended (wasn’t the intent of PIP to improve performance? Not that useful if people leave isn’t it?).
DW has your PIP right in his pants, yeeaahhh
I hate to say this but who cares? At my former employer there was an actual attempt to improve poorer performers. I’ve heard from others, at similar fortune 100 companies that a PIP is a death sentence.
If your NSI, no raise, no future. The same useless manager trying to “save” you was the jerk who got you there in the first place.
I took the PIP to get extra time because like others, was completely blind sided. And I promise any of you “tough” guys, if I run into a XOM employee, you will not be treated kindly.
My PIP was completely stupid. A bunch of linked In trainings and two assignments helping id--ts in other departments. Yeah… I was so bad that I was asked to fix other people’s broken stuff.
Got 3 offers within 45 days… Took 2 weeks off and got doubled paid for 2 months. Plus 3.5 weeks in vacation payout.
And XOM paid over $300,000 to relocate me… Paid my loss in sale. Bought a nice home with that and just sold for a 45% profit.
But yeah, you guys are winning…
If your PIP’d, realize you were screwed. Odds are, you were not a low performer. Management is the real low performer.
Hopefully folks have been getting that resume up to date and out there… Unfortunately, I will probably not hire you with an XOM past…
I am definitely NOT your friend.
The percentage of those who will survive the PIP is irrelevant, except for the very short-term. This year, if you’re younger than late ‘40s, you have a good chance of making it through the PIP, since you would be there only as demographic balance to older workers who are really targeted. However, your “career” (to pretend we still have that at EM) will be in the dumpster. Dead meat waiting to be thrown out at the next opportunity.
The PIP is really a joke, poorly devised targets and improvement plans crafted by the supervisor only if the person did not opt for PIL.
This year they will game the system because they 1st and 2nd line managers cannot afford losses. People recently retired will be at NSI and the rest will pass PIP
Yes, the management team works long and hard to develop personally individualized improvement plans for anyone designated NSI and offered the PiP.
Each plan precisely addresses each of the faults in the individual performance and all of the relevant support structure needed to help the NSI succeed.
They are here for you. You are part of the team.
It's not love, but it is darn close.
High, because majority will take PIL.
