Seeking Advice on Unfair PIP Evaluation

Hello community I need some advice regarding an issue I faced at my job at Infosys. I was placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) with goals that included completing certifications and accelerate tasks. While I completed the certifications, the accelerate tasks were never assigned to me. Despite this, my performance was evaluated, and I was told I failed the PIP, leading to HR taking action against me. Here are my main concerns: 1. Incomplete PIP Process: Accelerate tasks were not assigned, yet my performance was still evaluated. 2. Unfair Evaluation: The evaluation seemed unfair without the necessary tasks. 3. Lack of Support and Communication: There was little guidance or communication about the PIP process. I've asked HR and my manager for clarification and am waiting for a response. Meanwhile, I'd appreciate any advice or similar experiences you can share. How did you handle such situations? What steps did you take? Thank you.

My Experience as Fresher with Workplace Harassment and Forced Resignation at Accenture

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped. Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer. The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues. Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.

Getting into PIP is very easy if you are a hard worker.But you don't prefer to impress your manager ego

Finally the day I am expecting it to come already. I am into PIP. Even though I have worked hard and am getting peanuts for my hard work. The hard work is lost against the bajans as always. The manager's feedback is the finale to get into PIP.Now I need to learn how to do bajan without working hard. If you have good communication skills to impress the manager then you grow but not with the technical skills and other analytical skills always they are the least priority. As if you can't speak up then other teammates can easily take your credits and get promoted. You need to always talk and tell about the things you never did and claim that you did it all yourself. This is the way IT is working as said by most of the people. Even though you are not that type you need to change otherwise you can't survive in IT. This is the bitter truth. HR people never contact you neither about your wellbeing nor about your hard work to appreciate you at least they never had a word with you when you are getting into PIP. They simply listen to manager feedback without asking a question they will put you into PIP. They don't care whether you have been targeted or got the wrong feedback against you. They never see the got commits the code you have implemented the performance you have improved the code quality you have maintained in fact they simply don't care about all these.
