I was in my job (Wa State) for a little over a year. In that time I was given four reviews were out of 18 areas evaluated I was Meeting Expectations in 15, 1 exceeding expectations and two meeting some expectations. About three months after my last review I was called into a meeting with my boss and a HR representative. I was told I was not meeting expectations and that I had a choice of separating from the company on my own or creating a performance plan that shows how I would show immediate and sustained performance improvement. When I asked why I was not meeting expectations I was not given any reasons except not meeting the values of the company and was told that it was my responsibility to show how I was going to meet expectations and that I was responsible to make it work. I was not given any guidance or help in creating this plan. The total burden was place on me. I met with my boss two times after this and was told two separate times the plan was not good enough and I could never get him to tell me specifically how I was not meeting expectations. How do a I correct something if I don't understand what is wrong. I was given a two page document outlining general job requirements that I thought I was already meeting. I was asked to sign this document that said I agree that I was not meeting expectations and that if I did not meet expectations that I would be fired. Rather than being fired and giving them time to build a case
