Got put on a PIP? Here's how to survive it. A Performance Improvement Plan feels like career death, but it doesn't have to be. In Indian companies, PIPs are sold as "help to improve." Reality? It's often code for "we're thinking of letting you go." Plot twist: PIPs don't always target poor performers. Sometimes they target expensive employees when budgets shrink. Your survival playbook: Get everything in writing. Plan, timeline, metrics - all in email, not hallway chats. Document everything. Every delivery, feedback, interaction. Proof protects you. Force weekly check-ins with your manager. Clear feedback beats surprise attacks. Quietly update your resume and start interviewing. Options give you power. The truth: If you messed up, the plan might save you. If they want someone cheaper, you'll leave prepared, not blindsided. A PIP is your wake-up call to protect yourself and prepare your next move.
