About This Tool

Why We Built This

Most people don't realize they're being set up for a PIP until it's too late. By the time HR slides that document across the table, the decision has already been made — weeks or months ago.

This assessment helps you recognize the warning signs before a PIP is formalized, when you still have the most options: negotiating, transferring, job searching, or building your case.

How It Works

The quiz evaluates 12 key signals that commonly precede a PIP, based on patterns reported by thousands of workers and HR professionals. Each question maps to a known "pre-PIP" behavior pattern from managers and organizations.

Your answers are scored and weighted to produce a risk level (Low, Moderate, High, or Critical) along with specific action items for your situation.

Privacy

Your answers never leave your browser. There is no server-side processing of your quiz responses. Everything runs in JavaScript on your device. We don't track individual answers, store results, or share data with anyone.
