Are weekly Workday check-ins replacng formal PIPs? I've heard several folks say that weekly checkins documented in Workday can become part of a term process without a formal PIP... OK... employees need to know whether a check-in is routine coaching... or a corrective action step. not sure if someone knows more.

They will tell you that a check-in doesn't mean anything. It is just documentation and can be for good things as well as negative. Don't believe that. Also, the whole PIP process that is "sold" to the masses - informal warning, followed by a formal warning, then potentially termination - also false. What is true is they will use anything they can to terminate without paying severance. A good one is two performance reviews (mid-year/year-end) rated below the level of meets in a row is now an appropriate reason to terminate. It's not documented anywhere (or at least it wasn't prior to January) but it is happening. Rumor has it that managers have been told to lower ratings in order to terminate, especially if that employee has tenure. Look out and tell your friends. Don't bother going to HR. That's just one more target for your back.
If you're getting "check ins" on a regular basis, that's your signal that they're trying to get rid of you w/out severance.
There’s no such thing as a pip anymore
You can be terminated for cause with enough documentation in workday.
This is only going to get worse and will absolutely be used to terminate to avoid severance. It's an OC initiative.
All feedback and coaching is part of performance management. If it ends up in Workday, it should be seen as serious. Behaviors that don't change over tone will become evidence to reduce ratings or terminate. Pay particular attention to feedback that has explicit corrective action called out or provides dates where performance needs to improve.
choreographed termination for cause/performance......its the new thing
