I'm currently in a situation where my manager has hinted at a possible Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) extension at my company, XYZ Corp, where I work as a software engineer. I’m feeling quite anxious about this, as I want to make sure I navigate this process effectively. I’m unsure about how to approach my manager for clarity on the expectations and what steps I should take to improve my performance. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Any advice on how to handle this would be greatly appreciated.
