An internal note sent by the company's CEO, Shivakumar Ganesan, tried to justify the change in PIP model by saying, "In the model today, there is no appetite for risk.
Employees claim that as per the new PIP policy, the employees were given no warnings post which they could improve their performance. Furthermore, the beginning of PIP was identified as start of the notice period.
"The mandatory clause of two performance warnings before initiating a PIP was removed from the policy, also the notice period of employees was started along the PIPs," the source noted.
