The Truth About Performance Improvement Plans!
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.
If you are a Corporate Warrior, chances are you have been met with a PIP or at least a threat of a PIP in your career journey. 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. You can make it through the PIP experience and trust me, life gets better after a PIP.
