I got a PIP, first ever in my career. I had been performing poorly for six months but got a raise last four months. Can you believe part of my poor performance is not participating enough?! Startup life for you. I'm expecting to be let go no matter what improvements I make because the timing doesn't make any sense. Blind community, can you help me understand what my options are at this time especially regarding unemployment. I haven't signed anything but I did agree to make improvements. Many thanks everyone!
I agree 100% with Taboola. Polish your resume, ask for referrals, and interview
As someone who has, unfortunately, had to put a few people on PIP's, eidYwnq is correct. Of the 3 people that I've put on PIP's, I would have fired everyone up front if it weren't for HR requiring this process. Of the 3, only 1 actually changed his performance to the point that I would have kept him around. That said, he went out looking for a new job when we initiated the performance improvement plan.
Did you keep him around or did you fire him? How did you know he was searching for another job?
Was it really a poor performance or simply a workplace politics? Was it initiated by you?

Best LCOL or MCOL city?
Most pips are not actually performance related but a political move. The fact they gave you a bump in salary and fair notice is a nice thing. Take this as a big hint and start looking elsewhere ASAP. Try your best at your current work space but don’t over-exert yourself and instead use that energy to find a new job. Good luck!
