The purpose of PIP is really to encourage you to leave. I imagine it is hard to be motivated after receiving one.

If you ride it out and they let you go, do you get the usual LR package and eligibility for unemployment insurance?

A startup. Where all the failures go.

This certainly explains a lot.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Cisco :

The majority of its products and business units have come from acquisitions, with Cisco Systems spending more than $70 billion to acquire approximately 218 organizations as of October 2021.

You’re better than Cisco dumpster fires bosses. Plus Cisco is a joke in big tech, they’re becoming a laughing stock of the tech industry leaders, seriously… ELT seem to stuck in a 90’s internet bo-m fog…

Pick a better group or team in another company. Who knows you might get rich at a startup or company with good growth.

Try it out and take your time if you are not on H1-B. h1-B candidates are usually given special preference and fast interviews. A lot of bias in the tech hiring.

Relax ! It is not end of the world. Chill and F your boss and s h I tty group.

most of the PIP done is not for legi reason, and is not ethical

3 of my team got PIP's including leaders/managers

you just got to be paid too much, too old, or not liked/popular

that's enough, they will make up reasons that you cannot argue

I won't even be friendly to them at this point

A startup. Where all the failures go. And fail again trying to stay relevant. But I heard Glass Tiger will play at ribbon cutting ceremonies.
