When my manager wanted to put me on a pip, an experienced HR friend recommended me to speak to an employment lawyer asap. They would help for a relatively small fee, and a percentage if they win. In many countries PIPs are subjective, and courts nudge to protecting employees. A lawyer can help you prepare to document and catch errors. It doesn't solve your problems but at least you have the chance to get a premium for your frustration. This was not in the Netherlands, so things might be different, but probably similar to a certain extent. |

The problem is there's not much they can do until you're terminated, and after termination you need to wait six months to a year while a regualatory body investigates until you get your "letter to sue", and even then the $ you get will probably not be enough to retire on.
In the meantime, you'll have an employment gap and an employer who plays fast and loose with the law, so they might be willing to do other things like shit talk you during reference checks.
Even if they did something egregious like fire you for a protected reason despite ample evidence it's very hard to do anything about it if they're adamant they don't want to make a reasonable settlement offer.
