It seems to me that almost all native English speakers got principal and principle backwards. I’m actually surprised when I see them used correctly (which is not the case here).

I feel bad that you’ve been left hanging there.

What’s the third one? :)

In all the companies I worked at in there last 20 years, there’s simply no way someone can get promoted while on a PIP. Nor can they get a salary increase, bonus, or shares. It’s a strict rule, and common sense frankly.

It doesn’t matter if they exceed some aspects and fail in others. If they’re on a PIP, they are not meeting the expectations for their role, period.

How come? That doesn’t make any sense at all.

If you were on a PIP, your performance was below expectations for your current level. To be promoted your performance needs to be consistently at the next level.

What kind of company was it that contradicted itself so completely?

Smart. Maxwell Smart.

Yeah, I was looking at this wondering why anyone would stop a program just to copy a line, and then I remembered that not everyone uses a Mac.
