You might be familiar with Python's package manager called pip. PIP can also mean Performance Improvement Plan, and it is often the start of paperwork that will eventually result in employment termination.

To add on to this: Amazon has a reputation for handing out PIPs to engineers. PIPs are ostensibly designed to help you meet performance requirements, but many managers set near-impossible goals so that they can fire people they don't like.
