How should I respond to a performance improvement plan?

Acknowledge the feedback professionally, ask clarifying questions about expectations, propose specific action steps with timelines, and request regular check-ins to track progress.

Can I dispute a performance improvement plan?

Yes. Respond in writing with specific evidence contradicting inaccurate claims. Reference positive reviews, metrics, or emails that support your performance record.

Should I sign a PIP if I disagree with it?

You can sign while noting 'received, not agreed to.' Refusing to sign doesn't help. Respond in writing with your perspective and keep copies of all documentation.
