I received a 4 last year and I was not put on a PIP. Neither did other colleagues. Try not to stress too much.

4-Rating means Needs Improvement.
The company may or may not place you on a PIP, but it definitely makes you a target for Layoffs.
It's basically makes the employee a Layoff candidate and you stick put like a sore thumb!
A 4 is 100% NOT a PIP or RIF
I got a 4 due to an event, not on a PIP…. that I know of.
Its an automatic Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) and you should start looking for new work ASAP. The four people I have known that got put on them were fired within 6 months.
