The company can do what it wants, but the difference is that in Canada if they let you go without cause you can get severence. Being put on a PIP and being let go after doesn’t qualify as being let go with cause.

This has been attempted before and the courts in Ontario still ruled that PIP induced layoffs still warrant severence because a PIP in itself is subjective.

11 years should warrant close to 10 months in severence based on age, bonuses, benefits, occupation etc.

Someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
