Performance Improvement Plans - Employers entitled to a minimum level of performance
By Daniel A. Lublin, Employment Lawyer

Manager, Iliescu had promptly gained the firm's trust - but lost it just as fast after his response to a manager’s email accusing him of underperformance. Iliescu wrote his boss, the HR manager and the president with five demands he required them to meet before he would return to work, putting the company's deadline on a project in peril.
