re: Thoughts on Performance Improvement Plans?

The problem with PIPs is that all they do is communicate the expectations of your job….which should have already been communicated to you.

Either you haven’t been meeting those expectations (for whatever reason) or your leadership is awful and hasn’t communicated them.

Either way, it’s probably time to go. Yeah I’m sure they work sometimes but even if they’re implemented and done in good faith (by the employer and/or employer), it’s most likely the writing on the wall.
