It probably will be added to the reasons you’re being PIPed

Or, an additional PIP. Which you also won’t sign. It’s PIPs all the way down.

Refusing to sign could be interpreted as insubordination, which could be grounds for immediate dismissal.

It's probably best to sign it and immediately put your job search in high gear.

Gives them more of a reason to let you go.

Depends on your leverage. ALWAYS have leverage. Always have a plan B - D. It’s an opportunity for you to identify things in the future to look out for ahead of time, as well as consider the feedback. If it’s BS, don’t fight. Just use the PIP and coast while you dedicate your efforts to a new gig elsewhere. early on, these were often signals for pivot points on where to go in my career.

Get feedback DETAILS, and use that for where to CYA, as well as to determine if there’s any legit weaknesses to mitigate so you can focus on your strengths going forward.

Doesn’t the signature just acknowledge you’ve received it? Why be difficult?

Lol I wish I didn't sign mines 😢

But would it make a difference if you signed or not

The impact here depends on where you work and their policy. Refusing to sign could be anything from meaningless to resulting in termination. I’ve worked several places where if someone placed on PIP didn’t sign it, it meant that they didn’t agree to the PIP and were therefore accepting immediate termination instead of being given a chance to improve performance.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
