PIP is for Vengeance, Not Performance – A Tool Misused by Insecure Managers
I always believed a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) was meant to help an employee grow. But reality hit differently. Some were put on a PIP without any prior warnings, no clear expectations, and no proper guidance. It felt less like a performance correction and more like a personal vendetta. The same managers who failed to support or understand challenges were quick to question, criticize, and push into PIP mode — just to show power or settle scores. Performance issues should be handled with constructive feedback and mentorship. But in some companies, especially under insecure leadership, PIP becomes a silent weapon to corner individuals or force resignations.

...nure being not too long - just right so that I got to work on multiple projects. Variable pay always got above 70%. 3 days wfo in a week and on top of that get 30 days WFH exceptions in a year. So effective 114 days WFO in a year which is fine and gives flexibility . Leaves policy is good with 21 annual leaves and 5 wellness leaves in a year.Health insurance is priced reasonably.
