I have decided that I am going to accept the PIP. This is my first time being ranked as NSI. What do I need to know while on PIP and what are things I should do to get a successful pass on PIP. Any advice would definitely help me. Thanks in advance!

Agree with above. Been there, done that. Working very closely with your supervisor is the key, keep communicating with them throughout the whole process. Show positive results and attitude. If the supervisor/manager doesn’t really want you out (that could be true, they may just have to fill a percentage), you may find them actually working earnestly with you and help you go though this. Also agree that when it is over, put it behind you. Do not question your own worth because of this. Getting into a company assigned category once doesn’t mean your value as a person diminishes by any means. Best of luck! Also your family will be your strongest support.
Just pet the PIPpy
If your Supervisor is intentionally NSId you, you need a serious discussion about why you were the one to get NSI and if your supervisor will sincerely help you pass the PIP.
I was ranked lower than last year and told I should be thankful
Work with your supervisor to outline the 2-3 things that will be on the PIP. Basically try to influence what is on it. While on the plan, you should be meeting every two weeks or so for progress checks. Make sure to come prepared with something typed out because it makes it easier for them to create the career connect progress entry that you both need to sign. Supervisors want to be doing this as much as you do, so there is opportunity to help yourself out if proactive.
I heard it’s not even worth it! I’m a h-pxd employee and was never ranked so low until I showed up here. It feels like our CLs weighed a major factor in our low rankings to get us out the door. Plus I was brought over to support someone that was new to the position and job family. When I had over 15 years experience in that same role. This person should never be allowed to lead people in my honest opinion. In saying. You Lead People not Manage them. Office Supplies are Managed!
Make sure you work it with your supervisor. Some are harder and longer than others but ultimately all are complete in the same amount of time. Make sure you work it intensly focused on the results you are going for but gentle touchpoints and communication the entire time. It should stand on its own and may be super hard but with pleasant results agreeable to your supervisor when the job is complete. You may feel bad while going through it but try to understand this type of thing is needed if you hope to keep working here. The supervisor may not look you in the eyes the entire time but please know they are extremely focused on the results and outcomes. The supervisor may at times guide you on how to do it or even be forceful but I recommend you accept the hand holding to deliver the best performance and assure you get the job done to the satisfaction of the supervisor. In this case, its all about making the supervisor happy. Both results and behaviors throughout the ordeal will be key. If you get into a sticky situation during this time make sure you clean up whatever mess that might be. Either way it ends up I recommend you wash your hands of the experience and move forward to a better state of mind. Make sure you try and make the most of it. Good luck with your performance on the PIP.
