Performance Improvement Plan

When your employer puts you on a performance improvement plan, it is time to start searching for a new job. These plans, also know as PIPs, are usually to ensure that when you are fired, you do not have grounds to sue the company for discrimination or another issue. The plans are usually incredibly restrictive and are set up to look for problems with your performance.

Hanan: Performance improvement plans. Look at that slide. Oh my God, we found one, death on wheels. I'm serious. You call me and say, “I'm on a PIP.” I'm calling you to say, don't talk to me, go talk to a recruiter. I mean, you can't talk to him. Maybe there are some issues there, but they are telling you something. I've only heard of a few people who have survived those. Mostly my impression and experience is they are not really being done to improve anything other than the employer's defense.

Now, let me just say, the reason for this whole thing, you will understand it in seconds. The big fear of the employer is getting sued. It's huge. It's everywhere. It's like the police are there looking at you all the time. So what do they do? They've got to come up with a rational, non-discriminatory reason that you are being separated and that's what gives it to them. And they will say, I hate it, but they say you will be here every week, talking to your manager for a minimum of two hours. You will fill out the following. You are going to use this coloring book. You are going to... Whatever it is, and if you don't do it, you fall in. It's like the mouse trap. The ball is going. Boom! Got me again.
