Many of the PIPs going around right now aren’t even for job performance, they’re for mysterious “culture” misalignment - which basically means you have failed to keep your big mouth shut about all the stupid you keep running into on the job. When the layoff comes, it will be officially no fault but everyone knows what that means: another good person who actually cared has been conveniently freed of their golden handcuffs and is off to pursue better opportunities and improved mental health elsewhere. Happy for them. Not so much for the rest of us who get left with the crop that benefit most from this morally bankrupt ethically corrupt review system.
@mcy+1mxCPoLG said it perfectly.
