Does anyone know the procedure of getting fired from GM (without cause)? Like does it have to go through a direct manager or director, and how long does that take?

So much for Winning with Integrity.
The PIPs I've seen had vague handwavy goals like "must show more leadership". As an individual contributor.
No matter what you did, they would never acknowledge you met the goal.
What kind of role did you have that had measurable goals that everyone could agree were achieved or not achieved?
Sales?
The goals I was given were metric based. He wasn't able to dispute that I was meeting the goals.
If your manager made up problems about you, why did he admit he was lying by giving you greens by week 2?
I had a PIP and was able to complete it and get back to regular status. Took about 3 months and was BS because the problems my manager had with me didn't exist so by week 2 I was pretty much green all the way through. Couldn't really do anything about it since I was meeting/exceeding the goals.
I've seen 6 weeks. Never saw 6 months.
It's a procedure so I'm told from former management.
If they had wanted, or reason to release any salaried candidate, there was a process that could draw out to as far as six months so I was told.
So in other words, don't get old?
Almost no one survives a PIP at GM.
It's not a legitimate chance to fix a real problem, and nothing you do will meet their "high standards", even if you're doing 10 times the job of everyone else.
It's just notice that they want to get rid of you, and 95% of the time the reason has nothing to do with actual performance.
HR would have to be involved, my understanding is you would get PIP'd (Performance Improvement Plan) first, and give you time to fix the issue. "If" you wanted to stay.
My understanding is this could take 3 to 6 months, if your manager really drove it.
