PIP is code for "we are now gathering evidence so when we fire you, we have proof we had cause if you try to sue us"

Yeah, although if the manager has been doing their job, all of that stuff is already written down and documented in quarter reviews, 360’s, and goal setting.

My guess is that Dorsey is basically just saying, we already have months of documentation. Adding another 3 or 6 months is probably just going to drag things out and continue to piss of the people who are struggling to work with the problematic person.

Yep, instead of you being laid off.

I've seen the increase in PIPs right before layoffs numerous times.
