It is important to have the courage and conviction to start something completely of your own as early as your thirties, to completely get rid of all this corporate mess and get independent; no matter howsoever little the monetary gains are. Initially things would be always tough for anyone and everyone. But once you get the rhythm; you will be forever on the consistent lane for your entire life..

I fully agree with you.i have been through this as a manager and believe me it was a horrible experience. it was traumatic since its against our culture to do such kind of inhuman things

[rupalikapadnis]

Yess sir you are correct that are used it to fire people bcoz same thing happened with me while I was on pip I was given a task to complete I completed the whole task they didn't even look at it and told me I have failed.. and forced me to resign..😢

[abhishek.eswarappa]

I was put in a PIP, apparently for my "improvement". I agree the tasks were not like so difficult. However, after the PIP duration was completed, some mistakes were amplified for what they actually were, and they wanted to extend PIP. I resigned and started to build something of my own. PIP is real hell and it induces trauma. It’s screws your self esteem. Not worth it.

Without doubt PIP is used to fire people. I know of a friend who had never been a poor performer. He had some disagreements with his manager once. The manager, her boss and the HR put my friend under PIP. They asked him to achieve an annual target in just three months time. Even the best of performers can't do that. The writing was on the wall. They were going to fire him after three months. He did the honorable thing and resigned immediately. When companies decide to come after an employee, he/she doesn't have much choice. It's better to just leave and find less toxic places to work.
As for my friend, he waited a bit and found a job with a 40% salary hike.

It's very true it's most scary and demotivating thing ever. Can you please speak about some people are not let to work on new technologies with reason saying "you need experience in that technology" and you have so much experience but in old technologies you can't work like new person for current technologies!!

[raghuchaitu]

Accenture is Famous for PIP. Accenture has to Put 20% of team into PIP every Year and will kick them out.

[zerosessioncosmos]

Absolutely correct that you're stating.
Thanks dear corporate guru for this point towards mgmt people and nonsense leads.

[chauhanrahul]

I was on PIP for 3 months. I worked on feedback provided weekly to me. After 1 month of plan, Reporting manager told me you can connect with lead for feedbacks that I used to do in daily meetings. It was fine until appraisal time came and they told me to leave and told PIP has failed. I am searching for new job now.

Mostly the HR are partial people, they listen to the management...they listen to one side of the story. On paper they are people partner, but in reality they are not

[yogeshdarekar]

Yes, PIP is a weapon to remove employee from organization. Purpose of pip not followed by management people. They wrongly using there rights. Just to threat employee who is poor in performance, never feel that pip is to improve. experoenced this reality

[Naveen-ylys]

I have a worest Manager who didn't provided kt and training blaming with fake stuff i have kept resignation today morning and evening they kept in PIP what to do now please do reply my mental health is effecting.

[hallsofivy]

Came across this today as my RM has conspired this PIP against me in HCL. I have facts and data with me. I am in training period not even in project MY project is not live - project will be life at the end of October 2024 and they raised a PIP where even HR partner himself is promoting me to resign

[SahilArora]

I can so relate to this video! It all started in MAY 2023, I was taken into meeting room by my manager, I was informed that PIP has been initiated against me and that is just mere "Khana Poorti" and it won't affect my employment!

Production target for NPS was 71% minimum to be achieved by everyone on floor. I struggled to achieve even 40% as monthly NPS Score.


I had a lot of disagreements and arguments with my line and upline manager, I didn't act as Sheep and wasn't a "Yes" Employee, so this Manager acted very smart, because he was aware that I am struggling to achieve even 40% he setup the target for PIP as:


Week 1-68%
Week 2-68%
Week 3-70%
Week 4-70%

I mean look at how smart he crafted firing strategy! An individual who struggled to achieve 40% monthly NPS score, all of a sudden how can an individual achieve those scores in 4 weeks?

I achieved:
Week 1-64%
Week 2-63.5%
Week 3-76.5% [Over the Target]
Week 4- 60%



Sets me to fail! On 5th June, takes me to meeting room, says PP cannot be extended, since targets weren't meet, either resign or we'll get you fired. And I had to resign, forcefully!

We had 4 metrics that gauge employee performance, AHT, Attendance, NPS and FCR. Out of 4, 3 were met, I was unable to meet NPS targets and he used this as weapon, backstabbed me, to get rid of me and he was successful!


Worst feeling till date, I should have resigned on 5th May itself because it was indeed a trap so that he could get rid of me! I wonder how such individuals get promoted? 🤔

[thalai]

Reminds me of the time I got humiliated and fired in Accenture in the name of PIP

[joelrionstaves]

This did happen to me, it has killed my self-esteem. I'm also no longer on speaking terms with my old team members.

[Worldoflavishasisters]

Same happened with me without any reason my company has put me on pip just 2 months of my maternity leave. And after that they have mailed me for exit. Without any discussion. Which was just unethical. Dear can tell me what do I do

[democracyjusticegod]

Sir, You are 100% Correct..!
Even for PIP, many Company dont have any Plan, Trainings Listed from start to end of PIP 😂.
Just to delay Appraisal & Increment, OR just to know Candidate's counter offer value, Losers throw them into PIP.... Fun part is, once PIP Candidate resigned, same HR & ManAger try to retain & want to know Counter offers value & competitors 😂🤣 and some respectless Idiots stay too 😂😁
