No, I am not on a PIP but was on my first run at Dell, lol. Fkn Pro support bro...
If you get put on a PIP you are still expected to show up and do your job every day. If you choose to just not come in anymore then, they will just fire you - which is literally what a PIP is for anyways - but you won't get any type of severance, or pay for no shows, so might as well milk them for that check.
If you are put on a PIP, they are basically trying to force you to quit. Your job is 100x harder on a PIP than it should be and are micromanaged like a mo-o. Instead of quitting, continue to go in, do whatever tf you want to do and make sure it's the absolute bare minimum. A paycheck is a paycheck so, make dell pay you out for doing a cr-p job. They legally have to pay you so, do the minimum possible. They plan on firing you anyways so who tf cares at this point?
Go in. Do the bare minimum at most. Just show up and pretend to work in all honesty...
I was on a PIP years ago when i was in the Pro Support dept. and I showed up, did the bare minimum, collected my checks and that was it. They monitored our calls and etc... via a program called (I think it was called anyways) "ICE" and I disabled that, then ran a simple script to prevent an automatic reinstall. So I'd take calls, talk for a while then hang up to make it seem as if i was "working."
Which was hilarious becuase I was called in a week later or so to go over my PIP cr-p and they were baffled as to how and why they had no records of anything after xyz date. I told them idfk, just doing my job bros. They didn't have an answer because they had no idea how or why it wasn't being tracked so, that was that.
A week before I was to fail my PIP I quit. Applied for unemployment and received it. Got paid for an extra check as well because my manager was "fond" of me lmfao.
Long story short, drag that sh-t out and milk it. Do the minimum to stay on the PIP and then when it's coming to an end, just quit. BUT, do it professionally. As in tell your manager first because then you might not get unemployment.
