They call it a Performance Improvement Plan. HR says it’s about helping you grow. But here’s the truth: once you’re on a PIP, it’s usually the final step before termination.
In this episode of Clocked Out Confessions, Liz reveals:
- Why PIPs are rarely about improvement — and almost always about liability
- How leaders and HR misuse PIPs as the first step in performance management instead of the last
- The three choices you really have once you’re on a PIP (quit, coast, or fight)
- How to protect yourself by making the PIP two-sided, not just a list of demands
- Why tracking both your progress and your manager’s support could be your strongest defense
⚡ Mic-drop: “PIPs aren’t about saving jobs. They’re about protecting companies.”
