Finally, I got my first PIP today. Even that I was doing lot of work and in my opinion I was top performer finally my manager decided that I deserved a PIP... Crazy company... I guess, all the posts saying RAs in September are gonna be true...

@e6 sorry man that su-ks. Document everything and save it. Like e5+1m0wkvn9n said you might be able to bring up a case of fraud against your manager
@dm I am on PIP since last week
@e1 Exactly. They’re playing a dangerous game, hoping you won’t call their bluff and push back. But in many cases, if you have documentation showing that you were performing well just a year earlier, it becomes a much easier case to make. From there, you can turn the tables on them by raising potential violations of business ethics and misuse of company policies. What they’re doing and how they are using a PIP as a legal cover for for layoffs is unethical and is literally fraudulent. They are fabrication and falsifying business documents and records
PIP is not the same as RA .. pip needs poor performance documentation to back up the actions as it can be legally challenged. you play the same game they are playing with you
When I started at this company years ago, PIPs were rare. They were reserved for people who actually struggled. Now Arvind and his merry band of sh1t bags hand them out like candy. I hope their souls all rot in the darkest pit of the abyss.
I was put on PIP this early morning...
You are not losing much leaving IBM.
Everyone I know that left (RA and PIP) were better off with more pay and brighter future.
Stop working for IBM right away, enjoy some down time and start preparing for next.
@OP IBM just said fu-k your family
@ac they know. But they are ok with it as long as it benefits their own personal self interests. Hopefully one day karma knocks on their door
@ab it’s not. Collect and save all the data and sue
I hope the managers who issue these PIPs can look at themselves in the mirror and realize how low they have become.
How is this legal
Collect and save everything. And start applying asap
Yea man I am sorry that really does su-ks. But the vast majority know it’s all a farse. You probably don’t deserve it.
Welcome to the club. Don't feel offended. It is the nature of company run by slimy Indians.
