#5There is nothing to hate here. I have given numerous PIP's as a manager and only actually fired once. The purpose of a PIP is to improve, not to fire a person.

#6Nothing really bad about a PIP. You get to coast for months while you do interviews prior to being fired.
Never been PIP'd myself, but I would prefer it than being fired without warning.

#7I saw this happen at Apple to an engineer on my team — maybe 8 to 10 years ago.
Yeah, it did look like the die was already cast, they just wanted perhaps a lawsuit-proof way of showing them the door.

Not in management so I can't argue with you on that. But it seems like at the time the PIP is summoned, the person has somehow made to fireable-grounds.

#9With at-will employment is a pip necessary? What happens if you fire someone who is performing?

#10No clue why PIP is so hated. I suspect that its from people who think they are so good that they should be immune from being fired.
