I know every company uses this differently

There's some company culture that pushes it but i find it to be more manager specific.

Personal experience, I got one from my boss because he thought i was slacking off when in reality i was heads down with the finance team pushing towards our IPO that required thee deals to close simultaneously. Him and HR realized they fricked up pretty quick when i bailed on the finance work since only a specific part of it was technically my job. After a couple thrown chairs by the CFO they got their shite together, pulled the PIP and i ended up with a nice IPO bonus. Then i left on the 1 year vest date and now they're one of my larger clients.

His exact words when i gave my notice were, "I did that because i thought your head was in your arse, but afterward realized it was mine."
