PIPs are death notices. Always have been. Just another way to avoid the WARN act with forever layoffs and sneaky tactics.
Everyone's gonna be on Focus regardless of performance. Now it's become a cost cutting/URA measure to increase free cash flow, reduce expenses. But it will backfire. The highest performing employees already quit, and when the next highest performing see what's happening, they'll bail too regardless. Andy gets the hardest Focus assignment - provide more shareholder ROI than Jeff -- now that's mission impossible!
