I have put into a PIP, 4 months into the job and I'm on PIP.

What the fuck!

What's PIP?

I got on PIP less than 3 month. Job was also low pay and high expectations.

@IntrusionCM Performance Improvement Plan, if management thinks that you are not performing on your level, then they put you on this plan for sometime, generally for month and you are given a project to complete, if you couldn't complete it they fire you.
Practically, it is used to fire people formally. There are chances to get out of it off you perform well but if they want to fire you project is too complex to be completed in the given time.

@Wolle so did you switch jobs or got out of it?

In their defense, is the PIP justified? Is the PIP process fairly executed?

@PaperTrail PIP is not justified in my opinion. It was due to speed of delivery issue, for me, I have spent 4 months with 2 teams, I have never worked in the yech stack they are using, no onboarding provided, from day 1 I was supposed to start the work.
Also, the PIP project is re-evaluated recently and it turned out to be a 3 months project as stated by one of the seniors. So the project is changed. I called this out when I looked at the project but it was ignored.

@true-dev001 I switched jobs. I put in my resignation 20min before my on-call shift started. I am now working at a company that understands family responsibilities, work life balance and has a lot of awesome people to work with.
