As a senior engineer, here's how the decision to PIP or not has been explained to me: Is there a clear and actionable plan where the employee would be welcome to stay on the team if they complete it?
It's a simply stated requirement but difficult, I think, to fulfill. Often there's not a clear path forward to fix the problem(s). Employers don't always make this judgment of what needs to be done correctly. And, of course, there's always the possibility that the employee doesn't follow through on their end.
