Hi folks,

A friend of mine has been put in PIP. He's afraid he'll be fired at the end of it. He's not a bad performer. Just stuck with a toxic boss who can't lead but expects 100 things to be done simultaneously and that my friend is a mind-reader. What do you do if you're fired by the firm? What do you say in the interviews? It's just been 7 months in the role. How do you justify the subsequent gap that may follow. 

Appreciate if someone share any tips. TIA!

Firing after PIP. What to do?

Firing after PIP. What to do?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have been put on PIP (Performance Improvement Programme) . 

It's a 3 month long thing, I have to show improvement, if I don't, I will be let go. 

They are saying that my technical skills are weak and I need to spend time outside my work brushing up those skills. If I improve then good else they'll let me go. 

Things escalated this much because my team lead complained that because of me, he had to rework certain things in the project which increased the timeline.

And he did this to save himself. He has been working on another task alone by himself since a month. I had no involvement in that, yet he's taking so long himself. To hide his shortcoming as a team lead, he is using me as a shield.

Now my dilemma is, should I focus on proving my worth to the company or should I just keep applying for jobs?

Considering the current market situation, what would be the best way for me to look for jobs?

I have been put on PIP

Software Engineer

My Manager told me that I am not performing well and indirectly threatend me that I would be put in PIP. I am really tensed and not able to function properly. I anyways don't like my manager and trying to find a new job since last 3 months but nothing is working out. Not sure how to deal with it and what to do...

Amazon PIP culture

Operations Manager

My Manager told me that I am not performing well and suddenly put me in PIP plan . He has already told me in September that my performance was low, and I have worked hard after that to show him. Even in 1:1s after September he has told me that I am improving. But I did not expect him to give me the pivot document suddenly. He has given a project which I was already working on and now I need to deliver it by Nov end. The L4 (front end/software engineer) tasks are not easy to achieve, but I am scared about the fact that recession is coming and this might be an Amazon way of kicking people out and even if I delivered everything he asked for, he can still decide to kick me out. So , can anyone help me with referrals and tell me what should I do at this situation?  What is the best way to survive PIP as well as prepare for interview? I am in L4 and have worked for amazon for 14 months till now.

What is PIP

Is it easy to come back from a PIP there or you'll be booted to meet their quota usually?

How realistic is it to survive a PIP at Amazon India?

Call it a victim of office politics or anything else, I have been put into PIP. Wanted to ask the grapevine community if a person is allowed to resign during the pip period. Basically I am planning to use this time to prepare for switch and resign just before the pip gets over. Any other possible suggestions are also welcome.

Can I resign if I have been put into PIP

Hey All,

I’m going to have meeting with HR regarding  PIP next week. There I need to take decision whether I have to resign and take 4 months pay or whether I have to go with PIP plan and perform certain tasks for 2 months what they will decide and evaluate.
I’m a bit confused what option should I need to opt.
I’m looking for jobs but didn’t receive any calls till now but I’m actively applying.

From many people I’ve heard that in PIP they are giving hard to achieve tasks and pressurising to resign else if got fail in PIP, they will terminate and will give termination letter instead of relieving letter.
What option should I opt , considering all the possibilities and current market situation?

P.S - I have 2 YOE in front end development 

Suggestions from experience would be highly appreciated and can help me.

Laid off via PIP

Grapeviners, this is what your corporate overlords like "Mr 70HoursperWeek" and all want from you, to DIE. 

70 hours per week? This is a tight slap to Mr. NM and his supporters. 

Consider the case of the McKinsey consultant who lost his life( https://www.consultancy.in/news/4168/young-mckinsey-consultant-commits-suicide-due-to-work-pressure ).
 
Wake up Grapevine!

Aftermath:
BofA Juniors will begin strike today.

Sick! People like NM are destroyers of work life balance. They earn so much but they want their employees to earn peanuts and work like maniacs.

So Flipkart will be doing performance based layoffs. I have been placed on PIP. How should I proceed considering I don't have any other offers and not much experience either.

1. Resign immediately.
2. Do the PIP completely and then see if I pass or not?
I am not in a good financial position currently.

I did that with my previous manager. He was extremely toxic for me. I ended up complaining about him multiple times and since nothing happened, I quit. The relationship soured to the point that we didn't even look at each other, let alone greeting the other. I know I might be an extreme case but has anything remotely similar happened to any of you?
