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?

Near impossible to get out of pip and start a normal relationship again. The trust is broken. Colleagues will judge u. Focus only on your job search and personal work. Treat this period as paid interview period.

Thanks a lot for the advice. My TL is making it increasingly difficult for me by asking me for updates every single day.

I haven't received any email from HR regarding PIP. It's all verbal and communication on Slack. Should I ask for one? @Mastikhor

Don't waste any further time on this PIP and start searching for a new job.

This is the best advice. I want to reinforce the importance of this.

Show up but don't put in more than an hour of PIP work. Stop doing regular project completely. Focus all your energy towards job search.

@Pingu Sure. It's risky spend time on the PIP and try to keep your job as you won't get this time back and it's generally more difficult to get interviews once you're unemployed.
