My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Minnesota
I was fired this afternoon and the reason my manager gave me was poor performance. I received a bad annual review in October & the problems they listed were things like accuracy, attention to detail, meeting deadlines. They said they would revisit in December and when we did, they put me on a performance improvement plan. It was literally a paragraph long & the desired outcomes was a sentence. When I asked for examples (I had thought I was improving) I was told they didn't have any because "it doesn't happen everyday". I sent weekly emails to my manager checking in to ask if any issues that week concerning my pip that I should be aware of and met on a monthly basis to confirm. The end date for the pip was March 10th, and I was told on that date that I had improved and would be off the pip. However, my manager still came to me occasionally with errors and I was let go today. The separation letter doesn't give a reason, just that my employment ended effective today and some language about my retirement & COBRA. I did try to improve, I created spreadsheets to help me track & used Outlook for reminders, but I was still missing things. When I asked for guidelines for accuracy, like a percentage expectation, I was told "I expect everything you put in the system to be correct." They refused to set measurables for me to meet, just a lot of "you messed up with X, do better, slow down". I had a great review my first year there, but I guess my performance faltered. I'm worried I will not get UI because they will consider it misconduct since they supposedly tried to counsel me (not very well).
