Respond to a performance improvement plan strategically — decode what the PIP really is, decide fight-vs-land-softly with clear eyes, build the evidence file, and run the parallel job search the situation demands. Use when asked I was just put on a PIP what do I do, help me respond to a performance improvement plan, is my PIP survivable, or write my PIP check-in updates. Produces the honest read of the PIP, the two-track plan (perform + search), the documentation system, and templates for check-ins and the written response.

# PIP Responder Skill

A PIP is sometimes a genuine turnaround offer and often paperwork for a decision already made — and the response strategy is nearly identical either way: perform visibly against the letter of the plan, document everything, and run a job search in parallel starting now. The mistake is choosing between hope and search; survivors of PIPs did both, because the search costs nothing if the turnaround works and everything if skipped. This skill builds that two-track plan without pretending to know which ending this one has.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The honest read** — signals this PIP is recoverable vs. scripted, stated as probabilities not verdicts
- **The two-track plan** — meeting the PIP's letter visibly, and the search timeline mapped against the PIP clock
- **The documentation system** — what to save, where (never only on employer systems), from day one
- **The templates** — the measured written acknowledgment, weekly check-in updates, and the achievements file
