A silent retrenchment wave is sweeping through the BPO and tech sectors these days. Instead of declaring high-profile mass layoffs—which require notifying the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and paying mandatory severance—malicious companies are executing "performance-based exits." 

By weaponizing the Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), these employers impose impossible metrics and intense micromanagement to deliberately manufacture a paper trail. This allows them to fire employees under the guise of "just cause," completely bypassing authorized cause rules that protect an individual’s right to separation pay.

ANXIOUS WARNINGS IN REDDIT

On subreddits like r/BPOinPh, workers are sharing anxious warnings that PIPs are being used as corporate execution devices rather than constructive development tools. One highly upvoted comment exposes the trap:

"Guys, pag nilagay kayo sa PIP, huwag niyo agad pirmahan kung alam niyo sa sarili niyo na imposible 'yung metrics. Sobrang red flag niyan ngayon. Last month 85% CSAT lang kami, biglang ginawang 95% nung nagka-bawas ng kliyente. Isang bagsak mo lang, ite-terminate ka nang walang separation pay... Gagawa sila ng butas para magmukhang tamad ka sa papel kahit sila 'yung nag-iba ng rules."

Another user shared how companies use a "constructive squeeze" to force voluntary resignation: "Inipit ako sa PIP para mapilitan akong mag-resign... Araw-araw huddle, araw-araw pinapamukha na bagsak ako. They just wanted me out without paying a single cent."

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

By changing your work targets overnight, malicious companies completely ignore fair rules. Under Philippine law, a company’s right to manage its business cannot take away your right to keep your job securely. Changing the goals just because the company lost a client is unfair. Plus, if a company makes a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) impossible just to stress you out and force you to quit, the law calls this "constructive dismissal," which means they illegally fired you.

To protect yourself from an unfair PIP, you need to collect proof immediately. First, do not sign anything blindly; write "Received copy for review; contents and metrics disputed" above your name. Next, save your past good scorecards to prove you were doing fine before they suddenly changed the rules. Third, keep track of how your boss fails to help you by using email to document missed training or denied tools. Finally, if they try to fire you, go straight to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and file for help under their "SEnA" program. This forces the company to prove to a labor officer that their rules were actually fair.

Have your company metrics suddenly spiked out of nowhere? Let us know if there’s a masked retrenchment happening in your company.

‘KUNIN NA NILA LAHAT… IWAN SA AMIN ANG BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE’

WATCH: Senator Alan Peter Cayetano’s bloc believes tomorrow’s special session is aimed at securing the Senate presidency and control of the blue ribbon committee.

“Actually pinag-usapan namin ng grupo kunin na nila lahat — Senate presidency, lahat ng committees — pero kung sincere sila, iwan sa amin ang blue ribbon committee,” Cayetano said in a Facebook Live.

Cayetano and eight other senators have filed a petition before the Supreme Court seeking to declare null and void the June 3 Senate session that removed their bloc from key leadership positions. | @eimorpsantos

The annual #rp612fic trend is always so fascinating to me bc it takes ample knowledge in Philippine (and even global) history, culture, and politics then blending it with modern memes to make peak Filipino humor 🤣
