Comment on Switching teams failed - how to continue working with current team?

Reality check time, You’re on your way out buddy. Companies don’t use PIPs as a last resort anymore, 99% of the time it’s to build the case to let you go without any blowback / unemployment and based on your history it sounds like this was a long time coming and you knew it. You didn’t get the other role because your current manager most likely gave the other team a heads up. Your only real option is to look externally at this point so it doesn’t really make sense to me why you wouldn’t at least try, If you’re in a big tech company what exactly makes it complicated to switch? If anything that should make it easier?
Definitely I’m on my way out. An external switch atm is just difficult because there aren’t that many open positions. I’m currently in one process where I profited from my network. Other than that it’s quite tough right now. ca. 1.5y when I was making the switch, I had to pick from 3 different offers and cancelled on a few final round interviews. The market is bad for my field right now, this is what makes the switch tough.
And yeah I’m also assuming they gave him a heads up. Too bad.

His manager at least had the decency to warn him ahead of time about the PIP. Still - it seems mostly about forcing him out of his remote position.
