Reddit: Bottom 15% being Auto-PIP'd

Only Elite Human Capital could think this is a good idea: Everyone in the bottom 15% of whatever nonsense metrics they're using this week (whichever ones the right people can game properly) are getting automatically PIP'd.

As we all know they use PIPs to prep people for being RA'd. And all the rumors are pointing to a massive RA in September.

The 15% rule has been in effect for 2 years now.

@a6 Of course not. Why would they fire their tribesmen who are giving them bribes and kickbacks?

This should apply to Arvind's directs and those 1 level down from that as well. Particularly in Consulting - Mohamad should have been gone a long time ago along with a sizable % of the rejects he has hired into leadership.

The entire Albany site should be labeled as bottom 15%

I know several sellers and CSEs who were bottom 15%. None of them have been PIP'ed. I think its optional for managers to do this and probably largely depends on how many heads there department has to chop in Q4.
