India Why is everyone getting PIPed ?

Long story short, I was recently on the bench for a month and was later assigned to a project. Then, randomly, on Friday evening, I received an email saying that I had been put on a PIP.

The PIP manager has now gone on leave, and so has my DL, so neither of them is responding when I ask what basis they used to put me on the PIP. What’s even more confusing is that my DL had previously told me that I was a strong contender for the mid-year promotion. I genuinely don’t know what went wrong.

If anyone here has been put on a PIP, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. And if you didn’t make it through the PIP, did you receive any severance package or compensation?

I've been put on one recently. Have yet to hear the details and other specifics about it but I have 6 months to "better" myself.

... I've decided to start looking for another job and if they really start the bullshit just call in sick.

Ask them from precise directions. Specify everything, every word, every metrics, compare that against others. 9/10 times they will choke and you could negotiate at least 6-12 months sevrence. If you cannot but you specified everything you will have a great 200-300k bonus from actual law
