Will filing a lawsuit can blacklist me? They gave a pip which is not deserved.

Find Ryan Stygar on YouTube (attorneyRyan). He has shorts and videos about how right to work doesn’t mean what most people think, how a PIP doesn’t always mean they have right to fire you, etc. excellent advice for anyone that works in the US in general.
Post ID: @1ube+1rNBjlDr NO thanks Citi "manager" or useless HR. Most plaintiff employee side Employment Lawyers will take cases on contingency especially against a big company like Citi that has deep pockets, and the Lawyers want to make a name for themselves. Stop trying to scare employees into Not exercising their Labor Rights. The USA is Not a third world or communistic country at least not yet.
Right to work means you have the right to quit and Citi has the right to fire you. Provided it's not retaliatory or discriminating, there would really be no case and it would cost you more than you make in a year to fight it. It's pretty easy to nitpick and find something in the best employees and document it in a PIP. Managing you out is cheaper than laying you off. Just find another job.
Post ID: @1uir+1rNBjlDr We all know or should know the Employers will reframe the PIP as performance related and Not because of reporting unethical or illegal activities, harassment (S3xual or otherwise) or discrimination (based on race, gender, gender-identity, religion, disability, pregnancy, etc.).
If you feel you were pip-ed without performance reasons, it means there was retaliation or discrimination against you, which I would think is grounds for lawsuit.
If they pip-ed you as a form of retaliation after you exercised your right or raised something, you have a case. If the pip is a form of discrimination against a protected characteristic, you have a case.
Of course it will damage your reputation there and everywhere that finds out. Sure it’s “protected”. Hmmm
No one will want the liability -that knows.
Why don’t you start job searching. The writing is in the wall, is it not….
Only if you are protected class and you can prove reasonable of PIP is because of your race color, religion etc
You can’t file a lawsuit because of a PIP no laws are violated.
