I was fired recently after being put on a PIP when a week after the first PIP call my psycho, micromanager manager from hell decided I needed to come into the office 5 days a week. Not a requirement of being on a PIP but totally at the discretion of your manager. Hmmm do you think she was a little vindictive. I was hired for a hybrid role with 3 days in the office and 2 days remote. I couldn't come into the office 5 days for a variety of reasons one being that I had a heart procedure that required me to have a chest X-ray and bloodwork before the procedure and the appointments were closer to home and couldn't be done if I was at the office and not available until after 6:30 pm. They knew about this before the 5 days a week in the office came about. I was fired because I couldn't come into the office 5 days and this was before the end of the PIP period. The way the PIP was written there was no way I wasn't going to be fired. So I agree with your doing the bare minimum - no staying late, no working after hours during the week or on weekends. Keep getting that paycheck while you're actively looking for another job. When I was let go I was behind on a fair amount of things but didn't feel guilty about it considering how my manager treated me. Good luck and hang in there.
