The pip quota is a HUGE perverse incentive here. Choosing someone to put on pip is hard because it is in manager's best interest to protect their core team from pip.
So if someone is too good for your team, you put them on pip. They are going to leave anyway, so putting them on pip does the least damage to your team.
The other pathological result is hiring dummies just to put them on pip, again protecting the core team from it.
