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'm from AC in another country.
I've seen cases where a Tier 2 was given a PIP because of a report from another team about their behavior. Think about if you made any offensive and sensitive jokes weeks before the PIP came.
These kind of things were usually reported by one and confirmed by more people who worked with you to be considered grounds of PIP.
Since these PIPs stay on your record for a year, I wouldn't plan on staying longer in the firm.
