PIP (Performance Improvement Plan)
In recruiter context
Be honest with yourself: a PIP is usually the start of a managed exit, not a genuine improvement programme. Plenty of people pass them; many of those still leave within six months. If you're put on one, two parallel tracks: hit the targets in writing and quietly start interviewing. Don't bet your career on the goodwill of the manager who put you on the PIP.
