People in companies like Zomato/ Spotify/ Netflix/ any other, can you tell whether your Org has a formal PIP policy for underperforming employees?

Performance Improvement Plan (PIP)

Performance Improvement Plan (PIP)- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am a fresher who is about to join a company in Bangalore. I've heard a lot of people mentioning the word 'PIP' on grapevine as well as reddit.
Can you enlighten me with its meaning? Thanks.

What is PIP

Software Engineer

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello viner,
A co worker of mine has been put on PIP by the company HR based on her managers feedback. Even though she got an average rating ,she did not get along well with the Manager and he got the HR to put her into PIP. HR here mostly follow what department leads tell them.

But there are some discrepancies :
1) HR has not formally sent her a email informing of the PIP procedure. This is all verbal
2) Her manager also hasn't given her any concrete milestones. He just said that she will be judged based on the feedback from fellow co workers.
3) Of late, the HR has been forcing her to resign even though the final date of pip period has not been reached.

Is this the normal PIP procedure followed in your companies too? 
Or is there something suspicious here?

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

The new trend of PIP basis layoffs

Product Manager

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.

Amazon PIP

Today, I received a warning email from the HR stating my performance is slow and they are going to decide on my employment.

I have joined this company very recently, as SDE 2. They are expecting me to complete a 30 day task within 10 days. I got excited and took it. I have been working my ass off, beyond the clock to achieve it. Most of it was new to me, since i don't have professional experience on this particular stack. It took me 6 days to achieve stability and structure of the application. Literally I haven't been sleeping a bit.

Now after 10 days they just shared this email. I really wanted to let this out.
