Rep on a PIP, claims retaliation?
Hi All!
A little freaked out at the moment as this is the first time this has occurred in my career.
For context, I placed an employee on a PIP today.
Not my first time doing so, but the first time an employee has tried to make a scene.
Documentation has been provided, dates, times, constant email feedback and discussions. For several months, and PIP documents started to get finalized since the start of May.
Early this week, the Rep made mention of a potential surgery.
I provided the employee with all documents they need, to our HR Team, our documents, processes & procedures.
Their coaching plan had ended prior to that conversation, and since they did not complete it, they’d be moving on to a PIP/Package conversation.
Today after the PIP/Package conversation was had, he throws me into an email discussing that the timing of the PIP was suspect.
Advice? Help? What should I do?
Everything has been documented, it needed to get reviewed before we even got to this part.
Not new to giving pips, but certainly new to someone deciding to throw me.
Thank you,
