In this episode, I drop nuggets around the Performance Improvement Plan aka PIP…. a sad and sorry excuse of a development tool used by organizations for all the wrong reasons. I also share the 3 options you have when you are placed on a PIP.

Listen, this is a temporary situation that will lead you to your next stop on your journey. Yes, it’s a painful experience, especially if it’s not for legitimate performance issues.

The key is in this episode.
