Or do you get fired right away if you get a bad rating?

I’ve initiated a few and fired someone over one. Most in the co don’t have the cojones…but some do
In my first year working at Chevron, I was told there's exactly two things that will get you fired: blatant / obvious harassment, or credit card / expense report fraud.
10 years later this remains true. Nobody is ever "fired" for incompetence, you're just tagged for a later official layoff following what @1se says below.
Have witnessed this several times. Here’s the options: if the PIP is real (some are personal vendettas due to personality clashes), the person will linger for a year or two before getting laid off. Some will transfer into other groups, where the PIP disappears but the stigma is still there and they are laid off in the next layoff round. Some who are smart see the handwriting on the wall and quit to go to other companies. Two things are true: 1) the PIPs are a joke, no real plan of improvement is ever implemented, or they just go through the motions; 2) once PIPed, a person’s Chevron career is doomed.
Yes, they do PIPs. No, you won’t get fired based on a PMP rating. But, the rating could be used by your supervisor to justify not selecting you over others in a ROM. Only things I’ve seen people immediately fired over are theft, harassment, intoxication, failed dr-g tests, and not showing up to the office.
Maybe and no.
It usually takes a few years for a low performer to get fired. PIPs are put in place but lack accountability. Next years ROM should help.
