Is that the latest cost-cutting strategy?

We need to put our bosses on PIP
PIP plans should be implemented for entire teams, nonperformance of individuals falls on their direct associate directors. Associate Directors within Verizon have almost no people manager experience, state they review direct reports work but don't, oversee assigned vendor resource but don't.
If that's the case, entire teams will get fired.
Hardly anyone ever survives a PIP. If they put you on one, it means they’ve decided to manage you out of the business. You’ll either be laid off during the next round or terminated at a later date so put all your efforts into landing another job and don’t worry too much about trying to meet the nearly impossible expectations of the PIP.
PIP = Game Over!
PIPs document and track employee mistakes , manager will look for errors and show that the employee is not performing. Companies use PIPs as another way to pressure employees to quit, resign, reduce headcount and save severance benefits.
there were senior directors who would bring up
the topic of PIP plans but never followed through due to the amount of documentation one had to complete, then rely on a director to oversee, which never occurred. Senior Directors made up their minds on certain employees. 'Not doable' responses in slack would generate back and forth discussions then to find the employee was correct
and Senior Directors would get embarrassed, therefore the employees that knew the truth would be terminated.
Because the new stock together is performance based
Is management is too blind to see that the continued layoffs, more work for less and less impacts productivity... ? Interesting.
@OP Excellent. Is it like taking acid?
@a1 pip doesn’t have to pay severance.
@OP Some of you complainers need to be put in BIBS!
How does that work? You’ve been here for ever and no longer perform. Here’s your vacation time and benefits will end at the end of the month. Meanwhile we’ve seen rounds over the past two years, with some on PIPs, be RIFd with package.
