Hey guys i work for a well known company and was given an opportunity to take on a role i had no experience in. My manager hired me and was fully aware of my transparency in having little to no experience. I am 16 months in and have now received a 2 on my review which isnt bad nor good. Needs improvement. I was also hit with a Performance Improvement Plan. (PIP) my boss has been purely malicious. This all started when she cursed at me via text. I reported her early on to HR. Unfortunately the context of the text wasnt enough to get her fired. She did receive a communication course training, and was advised to never speak to me like that ever again. she did receive a communication course, and was advised to never speak to me like that ever again. I have documented and saved everything that has occurred between me and her throughout this year and a half experience. As soon as I received my performance plan, I took a stress mental leave the same day. While I was struggling with my performance. I have made improvements and I’m making progress.

My question is being that I will be away for about 3 to 6 months on my short term leave will the pip plan still be applicable being as though I have not been present in my role and may require some of type or refresher and retraining. Any HR professionals know ?
