CEO Jack Dorsey tells workers he’s making it easier to fire them — There are reportedly no more performance improvement plans at Block::Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block and founder of Twitter, reportedly told workers it will now be easier and quicker to fire them.
Or even worse - PIPs exist as a paper trail that that shows the employee knew they were on the chopping block
I’ve rarely seen people’s PIP fairly evaluated; they are just fired at the end of the PIP term
To be fair, with a half decent manager, PIP is a last resort. Therefore all the workers who could change, do before reaching that point. They’ve likely tried all the improvement methods beforehand. At that point, it’s a final attempt, and to document the problems. It’s unsurprising that they don’t seem to help much.
