"Curious if anyone has any first hand knowledge of PIP (i.e. being the person put on PIP or the LLx in charge of putting someone on PIP)?"
It's not there to help or improve you. It's there to start the separation process. Anyone saying anything different is lying. It gets completed successfully by you being separation from the company, otherwise it is considered a failure. If you work towards the goals set for you, you are burning your effort for no benefit. If you get one, find a new job quickly. Consider it a professional courtesy because that's essentially what it is.
Curious if anyone has any first hand knowledge of PIP (i.e. being the person put on PIP or the LLx in charge of putting someone on PIP)? I've been with the company several years and have never heard of anyone in my organization(s) being put on PIP. Do most people quit before the PIP process ends? Has anyone successfully completed the PIP process? Do they offer you limited severance if you voluntarily quit before PIP begins? What happens at the end of the PIP process if you fail, compensation wise? If put on PIP, and are retirement eligible, can you retire at any point during the PIP process?
As discussed, if you get put on one of these give nothing but lip service to improvements. Do the bare minimum to keep up appearances, and immediately look for other employment. You'll have roughly 90 days on average. Consider it advance warning of separation and nothing else. In fact, they don't want you to improve at all they'd just as well like to terminate you immediately but for some reason they've deemed it better to warn you.
Far out!
