      it's just straight-up true, and everyone knows it. it means "hey we'd like to fire you but we want to make sure you can't claim benefits"

      for those of you outside the US, who don't know how this works "at-will" employment is something that is pretty much a thing

      some states have restrictions, because of course this can't just be simple

      but while they *can* fire you for any reason, if they do, then they're partially on the hook for things like unemployment benefits

      if they can demonstrate that they had a good reason to get rid of you, then you cannot get the benefit and so they don't pay

      this is fundamentally what PIPs are about; employers trying to demonstrate that they shit-canned you "for cause"

      an employer putting you on a PIP is saying "we'd love to just fire you but we need to do some paperwork to save money first"

      some people will say "no, but like, that's not why we do PIPs" yes, it is. you're lying to yourself.

      fundamentally it is about protecting the company's interests, over your employee's interests

      a PIP is about creating a paper trail to protect a company, full stop
