If you get placed on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan), it's better to resign and look for another job than to fight the process.

Or you could join a union and learn about your rights.

What rights?

If you've worked for somewhere less than two years, they can pretty much fire you for whatever reason they want, as long as it doesn't discriminate against a protected characteristic (i.e. gender, disability, sexual orientation.)

Brits had their rights to take cases to an employment tribunal eroded by the Tories.

They can just lie, too, and it's on you to prove that they fired you over a protected characteristic.
