I have a mostly hypothetical question. Neither I nor any of my direct reports are on or close to a Performance Improvement Plan, but I've seen them used throughout my time as a manager and I've always wondered about outcomes.

Probably 75% of the time it's a precursor to the employee being fired, and the rest of the time the PIP is "completed successfully" but the employee usually leaves soon after.

I'm wondering if anyone has examples of someone being on a PIP, completing it successfully, and eventually going on to thrive at the same company.
