a kid from my hiring class (6months in) was recently laid off 30 days into his PIP. He was #1 in sales from our class, and high up there in booked opportunities.. myself & the rest of the class are concerned cause like why tf him?
managements' justification was almost all of his sales came from inbounds, his activity was low and he hadn't progressed much forward. despite hitting activity metrics, he was booted (rest of the criteria i imagine he didn't meet, not sure there).
company has a successful sales org & history of exceeding targets though recently we're struggling across the board.
question is was management justified? why PIP a top performer so early on?
im sorry if u see this man
