So all of sudden many folks are being flagged for PIP. Any specific reason?
Is Cisco planning not to give severance package this time around?

G2 the cool words expert.
Reality, Bottom 25% =PIP
What makes G2 an AI expert?
he isn't one, but he pretends, which at Cisco is good enough
What makes G2 an AI expert? Story after story that have no grounding in reality.
It won't stop. Look at the changing of the guard...the CFO is out and G2 is in
G2 wants, and will get, a major commitment to setting up shop in Bangalore
its already happening, some fool accidentally shared a spreadsheet with all of one org in SBG that showed the recs for Bangalore...dozens already...meanwhile I haven't even seen backfill hires in my org in ages...literally ZERO investment in North America
what does this tell you? G2 wants a new org - younger, cheaper, 100% in-office, 100% on-board with AI-driven development (G2 cannot stop talking about AI)
PIP, LR, or just slowly asphyxiation...it's just a matter of time for us North Americans who WFH

My pipe dam got put on a PIP..and what did we do?!? Show’d up and busted big!
i escaped a pip at cisco and let me tell you, get out while you can or fight it out in court. those are your only two options. welcome to loserville where the managers are horrible
Companies are still offering severance pay to people on pip as a part of separation agreement. Otherwise, there are still chances to sue the company.
My teammate just got put on one and has been totally blindsided. Our broader team is largely terrified. So not only are there formal LRs to worry about but also the PIP factor now… lots of landmines.
PIPs are barbaric, yet efficient to reduce head-counts without paying severance. Good managers don’t fall for this trap, and protect their team. Politically inclined and bad managers jump on the idea to get anyone process through PIP, and they get self pleasure doing do. PIPs are increasing and HR is there to protect management. Often you pray to get included in next LR than been pushed out by toxic managers.
You guys are correct pip_s are for money saving, once PIPed the person can not internal transfer, no bonus, and boss will push down mission impossible task loads .
been happening for sometime now. pips are standard in tech now. companies want to get out of paying severance
