I\u2019m new in my job and my boss said that they were giving me one, to outline the things \u00a0I need to do and learn in my job. It doesn\u2019t feel like coaching, though \u2014 in fact \u00a0it feels a little threatening. How should I take this?<\/strong><br \/>Oh, my friend. You\u2019ve been PIP\u2019d, and that\u2019s not a good thing. Employees that the company wants to invest in get a development plan, which \u00a0helps them learn new skills and gain new experiences. Employees who aren\u2019t performing their job well get a performance improvement plan. I hate to break it to you, but you need to think of it as a sign you\u2019re not doing your job, and either you improve your performance or\u00a0you will be fired. Sometimes it\u2019s a sincere attempt to help someone get better, but sometimes it\u2019s a formality before termination. If you fight like hell for your job, have a great attitude and demonstrate that you can get up to speed quickly, you\u2019ve got a chance to keep your job. Good luck.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/GettyImages-1174981939.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"An employee and boss\" class=\"wp-image-20061344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/GettyImages-1174981939.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/GettyImages-1174981939.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/GettyImages-1174981939.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/11\/GettyImages-1174981939.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>An employee received a performance improvement plan but questioned as to what it meant, as their boss outlined the things they needed to do and learn.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m a health-care worker and I refuse to get vaccinated.

Similarly, all public employees who are fired for refusing the vaccine may be disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits. A worker who refuses an employer\u2019s directive to get vaccinated could be considered in violation of company policy, which generally would disqualify a claim, too. This issue is likely to be challenged and play out in courts for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><em>Gregory Giangrande has over 25 years of experience as a chief human resources executive.
