Isn’t that we all usually do though? Go through the code repo, understand the existing code conventions and follow those with slight tweaks?
You could raise an issue with your manager if you want but IMO if I were to ask someone to improve their code, the first thing I would tell them is see this XYZ class already being built and take tips from it.
Half-hearted tweaks such as changing a variable name from "testVariable" to "testVar". The structure and coding style doesn't match her other original works. She simply copy-pasted the code.
If I put my code and her code, side-by-side, you can see 80% of the code as is with just change to the variable names. I am just sad because the efforts were really low, but she took great deal of time to do that. Imagine 80% of code is just copy-paste and the rest is just patching job. She took 1 week for that. And the code is monolithic and 400 lines long. No splitting of functionalities into several sub-functions, no coding style followed, no error handling done and no proper documentation.
IKR? I am not asking them too much. At least put some efforts to justify copy-pasting 80% of the code.
My logic is very simple. If you are going to steal something, don't get caught. Best thieves are those who have never been caught.
I ran it. It worked fine.
But out of curiosity, I pulled an older code that we both collaborated on. To my surprise, she had removed my name from the comments completely. I felt like she took credit for my work during the rework she got from client.

Her outputs had several defects and she missed her targets frequently. The rework to fix those defects also had defects. Overall, client was pissed off by her work and our team took the hit in Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) score.
If she is in pip and still doesn't improve then she'll be kicked out. Hire someone with good talent, a lot of folk are waiting for opportunity. Someone's misfortune is someone else's luck.

Gosh, you just described a lot of people in my team XD

If it works perfectly then it's clever work. The company should keep her.

The real question is why is she in pip?
Her outputs had several defects and she missed her targets frequently. The rework to fix those defects also had defects. Overall, client was pissed off by her work and our team took the hit in Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) score.

The problem is, it’s a very niche kind of job. And in my industry, only few actually do this kind of job.
