Sorry, what does IC and PIP mean in this context?

Individual Contributor (primarily makes stuff directly rather than working through other people) and Performance Improvement Plan (supposedly a plan to improve performance, but often actually just HR making sure they have watertight documentation justifying sacking the person).

IC = Individual Contributor

PIP = Performance Improvement Plan
