PIP has become an acceptable and common practice to get rid of the "black horse" employee that is typically high-skilled and highly productive, thus at odds with a team of mostly mediocre members (including the manager) and hard to terminate based on pure work performance.
Uhuh.
What the "progrethive" GeeOpie ilk are looking for is a PC lap poodle who'll worship the emperor's new "Pink on Thursday" underoos and do as he's told.
The last thing they want is somebody who can tell the difference between actual performant work-product and the mounded facades of "architectural" buzzwords and bullshyte they're trying to stand upon on their way to bureaucratic L.I.F.E.R. Utopiaville.
Trump is no lap poodle - and the bureaucratic purple deadwood know their days are numbered if he becomes POTUS: "YOU'RE FIRED!".
