Scenario: Your boss and HR want to talk to you

Current Events

You should ask what you are lacking in, what you can do to get out of the PIP, and see if the manager and rest of the team is reasonable or dislikes you.

I mean generally you would know something is up.

I would look for another job ASAP, especially if you don't feel like you can convince them otherwise and come around.
Less is more. Everything you want, isn't everything you need.
