In all the companies I worked at in there last 20 years, there's simply no way someone can get promoted while on a PIP. Nor can they get a salary increase, bonus, or shares. It's a strict rule, and common sense frankly.
It doesn't matter if they exceed some aspects and fail in others. If they're on a PIP, they are not meeting the expectations for their role, period.
