| The company you worked for that allowed you to operate this way is in the minority. For 99% of companies the PIP is a documentation and CYA step to ensure that the employee goes away quietly, without things like filing for unemployment or suing the company. For most companies the purpose
of a PIP is to fire a person. |

| What evidence do you have for this statistic? |

| ▲ | dangus 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | None, sorry to disappoint your request for “source????.” It’s just common sense, finding someone who exits a PIP successfully is like finding a needle in a haystack. | | |
| ▲ | therealdrag0 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | There’s multiple people in the comments of this post alone who have self exited a pip. And I know at least one in person myself. What’s common sense is that Common sense doesn’t mean much, people often draw false conclusions from narrow sample sizes among other fallacious beliefs and reasonings. Asking for a source should always be acceptable by anyone who has an allegiance to truth. Let’s be honest with each other. | | |
| ▲ | Plasmoid 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | There is going to be a fair amount of selection bias in pip announcing they beat a pip. Getting fired isn't fun and so people won't brag about it. There are also other comments in this thread about people being pip'ed dishonestly. So people's experience will fall into a few categories:
* People who are not doing well
* People where the expectations of the job are (honestly) different between employee and employer.
* Trying to create cause to fire an employee / avoid layoff news. | | |
| ▲ | therealdrag0 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Absolutely, that’s why it’d be interesting to have an actual study about it. Otherwise it’s just runaway speculation, and all we can say is there are many companies and managers and they all work differently and your experiences may vary. |
