I received a PIP. HR said although there is a signature, I don’t need to sign it. I was told whether I sign it or not, doesn’t matter. Do you have any advice around this signature? A week later I received an automated task to acknowledge the PIP. The instructions stated to ‘confirm receipt of the PIP, and either acknowledge or refuse to acknowledge the PIP. If you refuse to acknowledge, the PIP process will still move forward . Your refusal will be documented here.’ I don’t agree with all of the PIP items. Must I respond to this? I almost through to the end of the PIP and I don’t want to come across as combative, as my Mgr does not respond well to any of my thoughts or feedback if they are not aligned to hers. Thank you.

How much notice do I need to give to my employer if I am planning to retire? Is it legal for my employer to put in writing "you will retire in xx months."?
