Of course PIP got a huge potential to be abused, it’s like a weapon in the hands of management. I’ve never been under a PIP but if I were I’d urgently look for work.

That's what I did - once I was put on a PIP, I knew it was time to jump before I was pushed.

Man, it's so frustrating. I just wanted to work hard, do a good job, and make a comfortable living.. but I got repeatedly screwed over by corporate politics several levels above me at my first couple of tech jobs after college. I was forced into learning how to play corporate politics just to stay employed, and now I make 6x as much money and work maybe 1/3rd as much as I used to.

If these companies weren't comprised of weasels and wannabe tyrants, I think everyone would be a lot better off. I guess being a manipulative, greedy asshole is just human nature though.
