Thank man, this is dope.

Wonderful conversation. Thank you for sharing

Astute observations Tom, very insightful.

I appreciate the clarity here, Tom.

Wow this is very useful! I always was told to succeed in silence which I feel is true in some cases but I really do need to learn to talk highly of myself because when I’m asked that question in interviews I always get lost and don’t know what to say. Thank You

Extremely useful! Although I don’t believe I’m quite ready for the executive level, I can admit that I do wait for management to recognize my efforts and reward me accordingly. It’s generally challenging for me to articulate my value to an organization. Thanks!

So insightful

I was on a pip as an EA. I had made large mistakes when I was checked out from just getting divorced and they listed out real things to improve on and I did. There is hope but yeah if you were blindsided with it and the goals are vague I would absolutely check out

All BS. A PIP is a guarantee termination. Best approach is to just spend 100% of your time looking for a new job and keep collecting a paycheck for doing nothing. Don’t give them anything. No meetings. Don’t sign anything. Don’t say a word. Don’t complete a transition plan. Nothing.

Thank you, sir!🫡

The Prince family and I support this message.

My boss ( who was not even my past manager at the time), put me on a two week "PIP" without ever giving me one on one meetings before, just out of the blue basing his performance review on feedback from senior techs, despite the fact that in almost a year and a half I only had maybe 3 escalations from customers and not serious ones, and basing it all on an oral exam I had taken with two senior techs that were overlooking the exam performance. Now, whenever they asked me to be on pager duty, I would gladly do it, now per company policy because of my "low performance" I am not able to pursue other positions within the company.

Very valuable

Too Good!! I've heard about the impact & power of 'Storytelling' in getting hired at interviews but before that which such skill or trait is essential to get called in for interviews as freshers.. Does meaningful conversations or something like it works on LinkedIn to engage with recruiters.. what should be the steps taken to reach the doors of interview process...

I was placed ona PIP last year. As a Manager, I believed (and used it before) to get people back to where we needed them. Never started it with the intention of firing anyone. Iwas therefore oblivious to that when I was placed on one. Acted professional, did all it was aked from me. My manager went on to lie on the report, saying I did not deliver on areas where I did, also deciding on my placing me on the next step of the PIP two weeks before agreed. I informed him and HR that I was going to keep trying under the new terms, and the next day he calls me and threatens me with immediate termination if I do not quit, laid in bare his intentions. Filled a complaint with HR and the independent board hired by the company to mediate such cases. Company refuses to stop the PIP, acknowledges the wrong-doing by firing the manager one month after I left, but I was refused the chance to stay. Also, company asks the independent board to stay aside on this case. PIPs are not bad, but people and organizations can be.

One of our managers has been placed on a PIP. He says that he welcomes it as a chance to improve. However, his attitude says otherwise. He’s micromanaging the staff and everyone is walking around on eggshells now because he’s making everyone else feel incompetent. The saddest part is that he doesn’t see his own behavior is not helping his situation. I will be very surprised if he survives his PIP because he’s now lost the support of his team. Low morale and a toxic work environment.

You look for another job

Please summarize key takeaways

Great video! Thank you for addressing the proverbial "elephant in the room" here. PIP is just a cute name for "write up" (I even worked for a company one time that called these "coaching memos"-🤣🤣🤣). No matter what fancy name they give it, it means the same: your days are numbered and the company wants to cover themselves from lawsuits. That being said, a write up/PIP can be valid in rare instances. But it should clearly state an actual company infraction, from the company handbook-not something the manager just made up as they went along.

Great advice as usual. When I was put on a PIP I basically use the entire 3 months as a paid job search. If a supervisor is taking the time effort to put you on a pip, they've already compiled all the paperwork they need to fire you.

Thanks for the video. I have quarterly (video) meetings with my boss' boss at a large company. I want to be promoted but so does everybody else but open positions are quite rare. Both my boss and her boss are corporate creatures: always guarded, giving evasive canned answers, faked empathy, etc... These skip-level meetings feel largely pointless.

The only way i survived a pip is by changing departments and leaving my former toxic supervisor

I just had a long talk with my manager and everything worked out.

You’re right about the PP slides. I realize that the CEO of our company just stands and presents in the middle of the room and speaks…, no microphone or anything. He is as cool as a cucumber and well dressed. Great points .

If I have 1 year experience as manager I can’t take this program!?

Could you elaborate on how as an employee/engineer i can get more project/clients for my company ie bring more money and save their time to ensure a fruitful outcome for my own career growth at faster pace..which books would help in this scenario and implementing the change in workplace environment effectively on individual level...

I was put on a PIP, because I refused to falsify my metrics. i did my work honestly, while my coworkers were doing fraudulant documentation to meet their metrics. They were also working off the clock on nights and weekends- something that i refused to do. Management was aware of what was happening, but looked the other way.

Tom what are some top ways to 3x or 5x our salary after joining the company ? In small or big companies how it works as some top players of the team star individuals say it's possible so what's their secret or methods to reach that goal..apart from being good at our craft which skills and traits are needed..

Great content!

Hey, I Loved this informative video🙌! I was Wondering if you'd ever be interested in expanding your reach? I could whip up some super catchy short clips from your content, perfect for grabbing attention. They'd be subtle additions but make a big difference. Let me know if that's cool, or if you just wanna chat video content!

Great video helped tremendously already!

Welcome back from the brink of death! Tom. I am so moved! Respect!! It works. You've motivated me.

The executive presence of an executive is not present when it’s not there. I could not agree more. How much do you charge to teach people to become leaders in charge? Any discount? I’m kind of leader already, but all I need now is some followers. Thanks.

Thank you !!!!🙏🏻

I'm interested.

All you have to say is: “No thanks”

PIPs can be used when an employee for whatever reason is underperforming and the casual chats, like, "how can we help you improve" have already taken place. People fall of on performance all the time, personal problems, family issues, addictions etc. There are few things in life we can control, one of them is our reaction to constructive feedback, I would suggest trying to rectify the issues and proving that you can do it, otherwise you should just walk every time you don't like feedback and see where that mindset leads you.

I was hoping to see the bookcases again. Can they get their own channel?

Well played.

Cheers to the next season! Looking forward to seeing your Britannicas on a new shelf. 📖

wow you doing really great!

Best of the best! Tom and his team are absolutely stellar!

Ok I hope this isn't inappropriate but you're a good looking guy

Why is 2A and 1B of the same color? Same for 3B and 2C?

This resonated, please do keep up the great videos!

How about a PIP and you work for a union company?

How exciting for you Tom, will miss that background lol! All the best for the move!

Tom: this is such a great advice. I have received a PIP last month and I quitted 4 weeks later and starting my own business in two weeks. It sucks being placed on a PIP but the silver lining is being on a PIP is not a dead end for one’s career

10:12 “…lead authentically, empathetically and in an audacious way…” 👏🏻 This video was so helpful - thank you, Tom!
