It seems management is focused on RIFs through PIP cuts. Does that mean layoffs are off the table from now on?

Think of it a different way. The company can decide how to manage the talent pool anyway they see fit. It doesn’t change your intrinsic value as a human. They could change the distribution of assessment group buckets as well so that only 5% are outstanding and 5% are excellent. It is all arbitrary. You made the mistake of assuming nothing can change ever. You should expect change and for change to be not in your favor. That is the way it works. We are in a constant struggle against the wolf at the door as humans. This is the way life is.
yeah how do they suddenly decide that one year 8-10% of everyone, in all functions and all rank groups, "need significant improvement"? what is the basis of this? and then the second year another 8%? why not 15%? why not 3% what is the basis? what?
I'm looking for a serious, reasonable and logical answer. unfortunately I know there is none, because the decision was not made with any logical basis

If the PIPis not a disguised layoff in your expert troll opinion, please tell us what is the purpose of the bloated, extended PIP.
@dur+1duM8yWL I bet you this year's PIP pass rate will be even higher as most people will choose PIL. Last year, people may worried about finding a job during COVID so they chose PIP. Now with the hot job market, it's hard to believe people with working experience cannot land a job.
Am I the only one who has noticed that in 2021 the PIP survival rate is extremely high? People are choosing the PIL because they don’t want a stagnating career which comes with being poorly ranked but they aren’t failing the PIP like happened in the past.
Hard to call the PIP a layoff when everyone is passing it.
At least for now.
