What is happening in your case?

👆👆 Yes and....Everything you say is "wrong" , everything is a "debate" , you say red, they say green, theres obvious tension that extends beyond your manager to your teammates. Stay positive. Maybe ask your sup for a check in?

Performance improvement plan would be the clearest way to show you the door. Preambles to that include performance discussions, light workloads etc.

It depends. I've had people on pips that got better and stayed for years. I've also had people who didn't and I had to fire them. It's up to you.
