“You can’t change people. People need to change because they want to.'
It's the subject of a trending Twitter video, from an apparently ex-Google employee called Pam, who tells her followers that her boyfriend has been put on “probation”. In the speaking-to-camera clip, Pam tells the Twitterverse how she's “PIPed” her boyfriend. For the benefit of those “not in tech”, she unpicks the acronym: “Performance Improvement Plan…It's what you get put on when they're about to fire you”.
So how did this work in practice? Apparently, Pam assigned a set of “daily and weekly tasks”, plus “a set of things that he needed to work on”, and it “worked really well”. The couple have also, apparently, integrated a Kanban board where Pam lists tasks for her other half, which he then does successfully. If it works for them…
A more spoof-y take on the “relationship contract” has simultaneously surfaced on TikTok, in the form of the “Boyfriend Pyramid”. The video series features a group of couple friends, going through a weekly “BF Pyramid of the Week” where the respective male partners are ranked from best to worst. The review assesses the boyfriends' weekly actinos ranging from being absent from the review to “top-tier” actions such as that of Logan who changed his girlfriend Talia's car tyres.
