Yes. They sure do.
And if you spend your days dancing through multiple outfit changes on Tic TOC and are responsible for cyber security ransom attack, you may even fast track yourself to an exit without even a PIP.

Does Avaya do PIP's?
You bet they do!
I had the honour of being on a team where the Director saved the team at his location by giving 40% of our team PIPs.
Yes. They managed personal Brand out on one
There wasn't a widespread one. Just the really bad hires were managed out via PIP between Feb-July 2023
How recent was the last PIP reduction of force?
Oh yes. That's how they were able to manage our Batman's favorite worst hire.
That one was relatively easy as they weren't hired for skills, just for being agreeable in the "have zero marketing expertise but I will join the look at me look at me marketing strategy with enthusiasm" team. So as soon as they were handed real responsibilities they couldn't survive a PIP because they spent all of their time self promoting.
They've been quietly managing out a handful of people on PIPs. Not as many as the industry does, because they have so many layoffs they don't need to use PIPs as an excuse. As of late, they've just used the PIPs for a few special people.
PIP = Performance Improvement Plan
