PIP : Performance Improvement Plan
I assume this to mean that it is an element of an individual's PIP, a formal process to set guides for getting someone to commit to a higher level of achievement.

Patently incorrect. A PIP is management telling you that you need to seek alternative employment, now.
Joking/sarcasm aside: I’ve never seen or heard someone who is placed on a PIP successfully “exit” the PIP. They exit the company or they’re exited from the company. PIPs seem to mark the start of the “we are building formal documentation to fire you” phase of losing a job.
I guess I'm the poster child for having vision insurance as a company benefit.
A lawyer I spoke with suggested employees regularly visit their doctor about work related stress so that when they inevitably get PIP'ed they can claim medical leave and work related illness. Some places its a war zone and that's what workers have to do.
I have and at Amazon and AWS. The pattern I have seen is medical related. Someone is on some sort of medication that is screwing with their abilities and don't realize it. I've seen multiple cases: one where it was meds that caused liver problems and the person didn't know they were supposed to get regularly testing (crappy doctor) and another where they found out meds they were on caused short-term memory loss. These surfaced during the PIPs and were fixed - and the folks got out fine.
