Everyone will be notified of their PIP/PIL options by Friday, August 14. Age protected individuals >40 y/o have 21 (business?) days to make their decision, essentially September 15th if you include the labor day Holiday. They want everyone off the payroll by December 15th due to the year end Holiday closing of the financials. For anyone that is > 40 y/o and given the choice of PIP or PIL, what should they do? Without hesitation, anyone that is not NRE should seriously take the message that they will not ever get to their career goals or retirement. You will never be sponsored or in the clique/club. Anyone that is RE should take the package immediately to take one for the team per se. Anyone not yet RE should realize they have no chance next cycle so maybe take the PIP or not, depending on their own situation, but what does that mean if you have 1-3 years left to be fully retirement eligible? It all depends on your supervisor. Yes, your supervisor controls your destiny. Obviously, if you are NSI, you don't have a good relationship with your supervisor, so chances are, you will not pass your PIP. There is a cap this year on how many people pass their PIP. So, if you are 1 year away from retirement, and they have not met their PIP pass %, you might have a chance to make it since it takes 2 NSI's, but they still need to make their cap on PIP success%. If you are more than 1 year away from retirement, you will have to get under your supervisor's desk to survive and they still have to meet their PIP success %. Personally, I think I would just move on. Life in that stage is not worth your dignity. Don't hate, just put it in your back pocket and watch how all the worker bees start dying off while the company just manages contractors. You will still reap the benefits of the stock.

@c9 Thanks for that clarification. I know that there isn't NRE anymore, the point is if you are more than 1 year away from retirement eligibility, your chances of making it are very low. If you are 1 year away, you have to still pass your PIP.
@OP I think some of your statements are erroneous, things changed again this year. If you’re a supervisor check goto/mlrp
I don’t believe there is a 21 day decision window anymore, it’s now 7 calendar days.
Mgrs/Supvrs have until 30-sep to communicate results, although most will communicate MLRP as early as reasonably possible to get it over with.
There is no more NRE, Near Retirement Eligible, doesn’t matter anymore whether you’re 1-3 years from retirement.
A limit on how many people can pass their PIP before PIPs are defined, is a layoff.
There are no good options unfortunately for those finding themselves in the NI or NSI category. Even those assessed as Good need to worry as they are next.
