To the OP re: "The funny part is that manager asks the pip employee to train the new hires! "

This is fairly common - so don't be surprised.

The way a lot of companies handle this is quite sucky and that is by setting your RA date to be after the training period ends. Often 3-4 months out. Ok. Still common enough. But the SUCKY companies won't give you RA benefits if you leave early - they'll consider it a resignation.

Better companies will ASK that you train - and give you some bonus for doing so - but let you leave under RA earlier.

My suggestion - to "sucky" - but also to "better" is to use the time to find a new job and to overlap jobs for that short period. (Don't tell IBM esp; likely not the new either).

Lastly IBM will basically say/push you to use all vacation ahead of time - but that's just a ploy to not have to pay vacation after the fact. But by LAW they have to pay unused vacation and cannot force you to take it.

Systems new RA is 10% PIP rolling out with YE Checkpoint.
So lots of fodder for these OP RA Trolls starting Januaryish with Checkpoint results.

The new hires can do it better and cheaper. Sounds disgruntled.

PIPS are not RAs. My word, how many times does this need to be made clear?

They have no strategy, no vision, management takes bonuses and receives a promotion whilst everyone else receives PIPs.

You need to ask in the Twitter, Meta and Google channels.
