Put on PIP? Just leave
If you're ever put on PIP which is basically quiet firing, have a word with the HR, ask them to either fire you or you resign yourself and ask them to at least give you the pay worth your notice period. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY TRYING TO GET OUT OF PIP.
Just fucking leave the job and find a new one or do something on your own. It's not worth the mental harassment.
Honestly you shouldn't waste your time and energy to try to convince them to keep you. Utilise that time and energy to find a new job, upskill yourself, work on a side hustle so that you're not entirely dependent on one source of income.
This is what I learnt this year. Be patient, this disruption could lead to something better, something awesome and something that you're more aligned with.
All the best ✨

I'm working for an organisation from past 2+ years, and noticed whenever someone is about to complete an year they are put on PIP, and promotion/hike is delayed by 6-12 months. (+/- 6 weeks on top of that).

Wow! That's an evil way to exploit employees and not pay them and make them anxious about losing the job so that they work without asking for much as they still have a job and not unemployed. What an evil startup! Hope they face their karma soon.

Well, this is another company, not Amazon. But yeah, Amazon is really famous for putting people on PIP and then firing them.

Yeah, it won't. But if your mental health is at stake due to the PIP then it's better to leave that put yourself through that torture and save up your energy for something that's worth it. You can also try to have a conversation with the HR and maybe negotiate to see if they pay something if you leave. Depends on the situation and the company. If they want to get rid of some employees, they'd happily pay them some money and let them go.

But i am living through the pip just because i dont want a resume gap for however time i can and i want severance pay. Does the gap in resume matter a lot?

Why ask them to fire you?
That will be also captured in your relieving letter

So that you can say that you've been laid off. They usually do all this when they wanna restructure their org so it's not your fault that they laid a person off.

Most companies will offer you voluntary resignation so that on paper it will look as if you were not fired. Firing might help if you are able to convince your potential new employers that it was due to a reorg and nothing to do with your performance. But in India, employers do background check and if they reach out to previous employer, they might get to know the truth.

I was once on PIP when I was on a personal struggle. Got promoted to next level the very next year.
It depends on your manager.
