I was off on sick leave for 4 weeks prior to Christmas. Stress. I cam back to work on the 8th of December. On Wednesday, I was presented with my PDP - yearly review which was Below Expectation throughout. On Friday I broke down when speaking with HR and was frank about my dissatisfaction with my department and that I needed a change. I let HR know that my sick leave was due to stress. I had my Personal Improvement plan on Friday which posed a number of stipulations to keeping my job. One was a less than 2 percent error rate with my job performance. After 60 days, if my employer does not feel I have kept up with the requirements of my PIP, I will be fired. I feel really under pressure to perform now. My health is suffering because of the environment where I work. My manager has the habit of micro managing and will do so even more now in my case. Do I go back to work on Monday? Am I not agreeing to the stipulation of my PIP if I do? Is this a human rights issue? Kind regards, Denise

If the 2% error rate is not reasonable, you should send your boss an email telling him that and saying that you will do your very best, but that you do not feel that it is realistic. If you are let go, then this would be a termination without cause and you would be owed full severance. The only time you should not go to work is if your doctor says not to and only if your doctor gives you a note to take to your employer. I am available to discuss during the week at the umber below.
