@r3 there's a great free package that just requires you to quit.
I'd take any package to leave today.
@a9 I doubt many people on here would get the Jeff Spicolli reference, but I loved it! It’s the right attitude to have!
Was put on a PIP back in 2003 that lasted 6 months and managed to get thru it. Manager that put me on it was canned for double jobbing while trying to setup his own computer related company. My then current manager realised that I should never have been put on PIP and took me off it but the damage was done and I left for a role in IT instead of business
In telecom, the Pdm Sr. Dir and VP could not come up with a solution, when their partner company withdrew from the project, so they asked their i8 report to find a solution for this problem. When the i8 could not do the job of VP or Sr.Dir, they PIP'd him.
So PIP in dell is basically Scape goating.
Dell is a joke.
People in industry are aware of the rot that Dell is.
Take the 6 months to land a role with a competitor. It would be easy to displace Dell as the incumbent. Dell is dysfunctional from the top down.
IMPO, unless you love your job at Dell... a PIP can be sort of a godsend. They typically last 3m to 6m and they HAVE to pay you but you don't HAVE to do a good job at this point lol... Do the bare minimum while you look for a new job. So if it's a 6 month PIP, then that's 6 months worth of pay while you do jack sh-t, and can look for a new job.
Well, PIP is not bad after all. You know it's a one way road to be kicked out, so you can do absolutely nothing during PIP and invest time in self-development.
Learn it. Know it. Live it.
Then get the fu-k outta of there!
All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.
Come for the job, stay for the quarterly “growth conversations.”
