Exxon just reported $15B+ in quarterly profits, $16B+ in cost savings since 2019 and we're still talking about PIPs and people getting pushed out. remember those 2K job cuts announced last year? now more discussions about performance plans, restructuring, people wondering how long they have left. PIP, layoff, fired... different names but same result if you're the one leaving. doesn't seem like this is slowing down...

A “growth plan” lands while the job moves away,
They call it performance; we know what they say.
New team, new time zone, same work, less pay.

We can seize the opportunity, because we have cut loose most of the dead wood, that has been holding us back. As an employee and shareholder I am very happy about this and hope we will double down in our effort to remove those, that are not pulling their weight!
Remove the nasties and we are good. Many caliber company won’t do well without them. Guess NOT!

Four-fours I'm pipin', wood grain I'm grippin', catch me goofing around at work because this isn't a serious company.
From what I've seen working in hiring, a PIP usually isn't a real plan to help you improve. Most of the time it's building a paper trail so the company can let you go without paying severance. Not always, but often enough. If you're on one, I'd start looking now and not wait to see how it goes. Don't resign though. Quitting usually means walking away from severance and unemployment you might've gotten if they let you go.
