Add Comment Question: Good morning: There is no HR here, no job descriptions, no performance review process. Out of the blue I received an email from my manager's manager advising me the Leadership completed a company wide salary review. I was told that I need to improve performance so my goals to align with Leadership goals therefore, no change to my compensation. I asked for evidence and examples and a plan to review my performance. Five days later I was told "We will review to discuss in greater detail with you in the next weeks". I am a 35+ year professional. I've been told my performance needs to improve, not told how or where or given examples. Can the employer just say, we need to see improvements, no raise and no opportunity to respond or defend or improve? I am very anxious and not comfortable in this environment. Any assistance would be appreciated. Answer: Thank you for your question. Employers can impose performance improvement plans, but their terms and implementation must be reasonable. In some cases, employers may improperly impose performance improvement plans in a way that creates a toxic work environment.
