Does your manager or HR have to tell you that you have been put on a PIP before it happens, or can they just assign you some humongous pile of sh*t to do, and then tell you when it's late that you failed your PIP?

The lay off is a tick up on ethics. PIPs were previously being used as a slow motion lay off that wouldn't have negative consequences for the H1B quotas. We had pretty much PIPed our way through the truely bad performers and we're starting to ask managers to start letters of expectations to people who were getting "exceeds expectations" on their reviews. Lay offs suck, but not nearly as much as firing people who were doing a decent job.
In these conditions there are no changes of getting through pip, its 0%
take the package and move on.
sharing this out of my experience
cant wait to see those A**** being laidoff
In my opinion, if you have the choice between GTFO package and PIP, take the package because on a PIP your chance of making are 50/50 and you may get nothing.Also since this process is common, I'm wondering how many hundreds (maybe thousands) go thru this per year at Q; Q does not report them as layoffs; just termination or voluntary leave. In the mean they will claim they need more h-1b workers. I wish you best of luck

To find out how to deal with HR in such cases, read this post by Gandhi titled "Document your accomplishments ..." https://www.thelayoff.com/qualcomm/post/5303131581710336
HR and your manager will definitely have a meeting with you if they decide to PIP you out. In a lot of cases, the purpose of PIP is that HR can fabricate a case against you to fire you by giving you impossible tasks to do through PIP. There is a statement at the bottom of the PIP form that you are asked to sign in which you agree that if you could not perform during PIP and Q fires you, you will not have any claims against Qualcomm. That is the most valuable staement for HR to have because their purpose is not served with ought it. For that reason they will ask you to sign it before you go on PIP, so you will know.
You have to be told you're going on a PIP first. It is a legally binding document.
