[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is an official PIP one of these various performance reviews? You can give him a generous one - like 4 - 6 months. Plenty of time to either finally improve or to find another job.

Sometimes upper management views new management situations as an opportunity to finally get rid of dead weight. [b]They're making you do their dirty work.[/b]

If it's been going on for years, I don't think you need to worry about optics. Everyone should know he's dead weight.

I was in similar situation, OP. It sucked. Thankfully my employee found a position that was a much better fit so I didn't feel too guilty in the end. The bar we set in the PIP was insultingly low and he still chose to leave.[/quote]

+1 A friend recently interviewed for a job at my company and learned that part of the role would be "restructuring how the team works". She didn't take the job. The person who did learned that "restructuring how the team works" meant he had to fire half the department and he didn't stay long after that was done. Because then he was expected to still meet their goals with half the staff.[/quote]
