Pip without a professional reason

Few months back I was put under pip. It's a well known org and I had been only with them for 1.5 months and in probation when they did this. Their reason: 'its just a hygiene thing' and that I'm 'too introverted' and should 'interact more than just focusing on work.' I'm certain it might be because of team biasness and bootlicking since manager claimed my work has no issues during our meeting. Fast forward to 3 months later, I'm yet to receive a pip plan or a judgement criteria or any written communication for the same. I'm not sure if I have any job security or when will the pip end (all attempts to get clarity on this were refuted). What should I do? Should I wait for things to become clear or quit. It's been only 6 months and I'm worried switching so early will look bad 😔 on my cv. My notice is 90 days.

90 days notice period will make your work 9 months already. If PIP situation is so shitty, might as well put in papers once you see they don't want you in team

Planning the same. While I don't have any concrete offer at the moment I feel 3 months is enough to find a job. I recently got approach by IBM but they refused to proceed after hearing my notice period. I lost yet another opportunity as well for the same reason. 90 days is ruining the current chances of finding a job quickly

Notice period of 90 days. Wow. That is a lot many days. In many organizations, Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) are frequently used as a procedural method to facilitate an employee's departure from the company. Managers often utilize PIPs to signal to an individual that they should begin actively seeking a new role elsewhere. In your situation, I recommend either exploring the possibility of transitioning to a different team within the company, but it would be advisable to consult with the prospective team's manager beforehand. Alternatively, if an internal transfer is not a viable option, it may be prudent to commence your search for a new role externally. You needn't be overly concerned about the relatively short tenure at your current employer. More often than not, recruiters base their hiring decisions primarily on an individual's skills and qualifications, rather than the duration or rationale behind their previous employment periods.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Once you're let go by the company, the career break (till the time you search for a new job) wouldn't that impact more negatively when HRs review your resume? Why are we waiting for a company to decide our fate? Take your fate into your own hands, work hard, prepare for interviews, and switch ASAP.

In EY also it is 90 days Notice period, my colleague was in similar situation like you. He immediately put down his paper and joined a not so well known firm but got a good hike.

Thanks for the suggestion. Well known or not doesn't matter. You just need job security for your peace of mind and it's not there at the moment for me due to lack of clarity from both manager and the HR

Amazon PIP

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.

I have been put on PIP

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?

Can I resign if I have been put into PIP

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.

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

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