If you get a "Does not meet expectations" overall or on any section other than Sales/Margin & Csat make your supervisor justify it.
Refuse to sign off on it and place a ticket to HR that you are refusing to sign it until a DM or HR become involved. Do not let them bully you into a PIP. The more people challenge them on this the more of a headache it will be to force them through.
Stand up for your rights. CEOs should not profit over your job loss.

I worked for a GM on a PIP. The DM at the time made his life a living hell but only he kinda deserved it to be honest. He screw everyone over on appraisals. He blamed supervisor for everything he possible could. Yes. Get out.
If you fight the pip they will just make your life miserable. Just find another job. Ship is sinking.
Get ready for your pip
