I have been performing to standards at my job, Then when a coworker I didn't have a good relationship with got promoted to supervisor she called me to a meeting with HR and put me on a Performance Improvement Plan with very vague guidlines like Meet deadlines, and improve quality of work. There was no set time or measurable objectives for the plan.
The HR person gave me the lip service that they were there to help and wanted to keep me etc... I kept quite and signed the form acknowledging receipt.
A few days later I sent a rebuttal challenging the facts of the PIP with details of my accomplishments and that the PIP may be motivated by improper illegal motives. I cited that there were two white employees who joined the team in the last two months(I am a minority) and provided facts that I was performing better than them. I also cited that the new supervisor perhaps has a discomfort communicating with people of different ethnicities.
I also concluded the rebuttal stating that I love my job and am dedicated to the company.
I sent this to my new supervisor's Boss, That Boss's boss, The HR director, and a Senior executive in an email.
Within 3 days the HR rep informed me that the PIP will be withdrawn and that they are going to assign me to a different team. My current supervisor is of course angry.
Should I keep documenting anything that may be retalitory in nature?
I think this letter may have probably kissed a chance of promotion goodbye.
What else should I look for in case I need to get to a point to negotiate severance or pursue the help of an attorney?
