[quote=Anonymous]I have no idea hat e actual success rate is at my company, but I did it. Granted, I think a good bit of that was due to HR recognizing that I had a vindictive, irrational manager with a personality issue more than a performance issue with me. He absolutely wanted me to quit rather than fight it, but I'd be damned if I gave him the pleasure. I (easily) exceeded every single term of the plan, passed with flying colors by HR and grudging acceptance by my manager. Went on to work there another 8 months before transferring, though I'd have left sooner if something had come up. I still wish I'd fought the actual plan to begin with, or at least written a formal response for my file, but it wa enough that I succeeded so strongly. My new position was step up in a completely different division if the org, and they asked about the PIP in the final interview, but I was able o offer a satisfactory explanation without bashing my former boss.

So, my advice would be to a) write a detail formal response for her file if she feels the PIP is genuinely not warranted, b) follow the plan to the letter, exceeding where possible, and c) still polish the resume/look for an exit. Note that if its an internal transfer like mine, FAR better to finish the PIP successfully before applying, as transfer positions will likely gain  access to your employment file at some point in the hiring process (in my case, it was when they told HR they wanted me and made a last review of my file before an offer).[/quote]
