That's certainly a possibility, but if someone told me they were put on a PIP, and asked me what they should expect, I'd tell them that in all likelihood it means that they are going to be let go in the near future.

It's a different story if the company does regular performance management with all employees. For example I work in the public sector and we do annual performance reviews, but also annual performance agreements, which are basically PIPs but without the prerequisite that performance has diminished.

Well yes. A PIP is a last resort. It's what you do when coaching, mentoring, and flat out ordering haven't worked. If you get to this stage you're at the precipice.

This 100%. If you're at the point where a PIP is happening, the employee shouldn't be surprised by it.

What does the half shield next to your username mean?

He's your rival

Not sure what you mean by half shield since that's probably specific to your client, but likely cause I'm one of the admins for lemmy.ca.
