Woman who resigned after being put on performance improvement plan loses wrongful dismissal claim

A woman has lost a wrongful dismissal claim following her resignation from a company after being placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP). The legal dispute centered on the circumstances surrounding her departure and the employer's assessment of her work performance.

The claimant's job responsibilities had been expanded shortly after she successfully completed her initial probation period. This expansion included new creative functions, which the employer later identified as areas where the employee was underperforming, eventually leading to the implementation of the PIP and her subsequent resignation.
