I actually know a lot of PiP used. It's not the bottom 10% but it's almost always personal from mgmt to whoever they want out wo getting sued for wrongful termination. The so called get rid of the bottom "10%" is more through natural attrition via retasked to do demoralizing work. Yeah when you work for some bad blood. They will make your life a living hell.

Also not so much long hours bc you do that elsewhere too but it's more of high pressure to get things done even when things that don't work isn't your area to deal it. That's one of their most coveted principles: bias for action.
