Exactly, if I were given PIP then first thing I start doing is using company time to upskill myself.

I haven't seen many cases but PIP were 100% leading to firing. Also my corpo didn't respond to work reference bar HR letter stating you worked for them.

So in my experience PIP is a sentence but you will face no consequence for not working.

(In two cases the PIP were purely because manager didn't like the guy and just wanted them gone)
