A TikTok user recently shared a video about how she implemented a “performance improvement plan” (PIP) for her boyfriend, which allegedly improved their relationship. However, relationship experts are concerned about the popularity of this video. Nadeen Hui, a San Francisco-based TikTok user who gives relationship advice, explained in her video that she and her boyfriend were facing several issues in their relationship. To address these problems, they decided to implement a PIP, similar to those used in the corporate world. Hui didn’t delve into the specific issues they faced, but she mentioned that lifestyle differences played a significant role. The PIP involved creating a list of daily and weekly tasks, notes on areas of improvement, assigning household chores, and weekly performance reviews. In a follow-up video, Hui revealed that they did their first review after three months of dating and have now been together for three years. While Hui’s video has gained over 270,500 views, experts have mixed opinions about the concept of “partner probation.” Some argue that it can help couples address issues by setting clear goals and responsibilities, while others believe it can create an unhealthy power dynamic and should be avoided. They recommend seeking outside support, improving communication, and using less corporate jargon to address relationship concerns. If necessary, taking a break from the relationship can also be beneficial, but it should only be considered when partners are genuinely considering ending the relationship. If couples choose to implement a partner probation system, they should establish clear expectations, timelines, and indicators of progress.
