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.
To be fair, if they want you gone regardless of your actual performance, there's nothing stopping them from just saying you're under performing by giving you more work than is reasonable. My former place of employment did everything they could to get me to quit and I was too stubborn to do it. So they gave me the workload expected of my department when it was 5 people, but there were 2 of us. For better of worse, circumstance forced me to quit before I could see if they actually had the balls to go through with firing me.
