Preparing for a performance improvement plan (PIP) involves a thoughtful and proactive approach to address performance issues constructively. Clearly understand the specific performance concerns or issues that need improvement. Review any feedback, evaluations, or incidents that have led to the decision to implement a PIP.

Let's note that the pip, must be realistic, and agreeable to both parties. You cannot enforce them, at any case. Otherwise will end up blaming the sky at the end of the year. He said, she said.i told you so, this is what we need to avoid.

A PIP is literally meant to build a case for your eventual dismissal. Stop bullshitting. The days of gaslighting about these are done and yall hate it. Yall hate that these lame ass defenses don’t work anymore. If a PIP wasn’t a punishment, then there would be at least a 90% success rate.

1. Listen to the exaggerations with a bit of truth thrown in. 2. Ask for 24 hours to look over the document. 3. Gather your personal files and contributions from the company equipment. 4. Turn in company equipment, badge, etc. 5. Walk off the job. 6. NEVER look back.

Establish clear and measurable performance goals that the employee can work towards during the improvement period. Goals should be realistic, achievable, and aligned with overall expectations. Schedule regular check-in meetings to review progress, discuss challenges, and provide feedback. These meetings should be constructive and supportive, fostering an open line of communication.

Determine what support, resources, or training may be needed to help the employee meet the performance goals. Ensure that the necessary tools are provided to facilitate improvement. If applicable, consult with supervisors, team members, or other relevant parties to gain additional perspectives on the employee's performance. This can provide a well-rounded view of the situation. If needed, consult with Human Resources (HR) for guidance on the performance improvement plan. HR can provide valuable insights and ensure that the process is fair and compliant.

Continuously monitor the employee's progress against the established objectives. Evaluate whether the improvement plan is effective in addressing the performance issues and achieving the desired outcomes. Provide constructive feedback throughout the process. Recognize and celebrate improvements and milestones achieved by the employee, reinforcing positive progress.

My advice is walk off the job as soon as you are released from the initial meeting. Let’s not lie, these stay with you for the remainder of your time with an organization. Forget about a promotion if you survive (which less than 5% do).

How do you prepare for a JTP or Job Termination Plan (because let’s be honest, these are not about improvement or growth.)? Take the document, say you need 24 hours to look over it. Issue a two week notice after 24 hours.
