I hope I won't be put on PIP. What do you think, what percentage of employees who are placed on PIP actually survive them? Is it even worth making extra efforts to try to save the job, given that impossible goals serve to make it easier for IBM to get rid of employees?

Manager here. Most people don't survive PIPs. They are 95% of the time engineered to get someone out of IBM at a lower cost vs the typical layoff.
My advice is that if you are PIPed, you are better off spending your remaining time looking for a job outside of IBM.
Yes lots of people survive PIPs. If you take the feedback, and deliver on what your job expects of you, then yes.
If you don’t, or play the victim, or think the game is against you…you surely won’t.
Gotta question why you think you would be on PIP? You said impossible goals but that would your whole team AND FLM be in pip.
Just think you are lazy and not being truthful to yourself. If you’re not happy at IBM, go look elsewhere.
Must have been Canadian
Our team had the worst possible worker ever, yet they survived a PIP.
I also hope you won't. But the actual question you want to post is: "Have you or has anyone you know survived a PIP?" I personally guess that the number who have is really small but I don't know that much.
Now days PIP is a way of getting rid of you without paying you a dime.
