Performance reviews- 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.

Is there any such cases where pip is closed negetive forcefully and employee has given enough documentation proof about his positive work in organization with various certifications, and employee has refused to resgin as that pip procedure was vague completely what could happen now?

As part of the PIP I have been given tasks to do alongside my regular project and they said that they evaluate me based on that.

I'm supposed to do these PIP related tasks outside work hours and weekends.

My TL expects me to give updates on this every single day. Expecting significant updates, knowing clearly I'm supposed to do it outside work hours.

He's the one who put me on PIP by creating a lot of noise, even included the India Head of the company, saying that I'm the person because of whom the project timelines got delayed. Now he's asking me to prioritise the PIP task over the project. He's upset that he's not getting regular updates from me on the PIP task.

This situation is super confusing. Idk what to do. How to manage my time with regular project + PIP task + job search + personal responsibilities + household chores?

I have been put on PIP

Today I got a call from the HR team that I've been put on PIP. I have been on Bench for 2 months and they are doing it for Cost cutting. Furthermore they asked me to get a project in 2 months otherwise I have to self resign.

My doubt is if they forced me to resign after 2 months in case I didn't get any interview calls, Will they give me notice period (3 months) salary???

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?

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

Hi guys,
I am recently facing a situation where I am about to be put in PIP. I was working in US tax for 2 years and my outcome was not coming positive. So to avoid the PIP situation I took a transfer to US compensation for the same. As I thought I can give a fresh start to my career. But recently I have been reached out by talent and they are putting me in the PIP situation. My Coach is also not supporting and I don't want to be in this situation since I have a lot of financial burden and the job market situation is not great as well. What should I do in this situation?

Please reply I really need suggestions

I'm a new person in the corporate world and wish to know how PIP affects a person who's been put on to it in the real world or practically.

Kindly let us know

Product Marketing Manager

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?

Do you guys think PIP is a tool for layoffs ?

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.

Amazon PIP culture

Operations Manager

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?
