I was recently let go from a small clinical research trials company where I worked remotely from New Jersey. The reason given for my termination was poor performance, but this wasn't explicitly stated in my separation agreement. Now, I've received a request from New Jersey unemployment asking for more information regarding my situation. They want to know if I was informed that my performance was unacceptable, if I was placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), and if there were specific performance standards I was expected to meet. I'm feeling anxious about how to answer these questions, as I'm concerned that my responses could affect the approval of my unemployment claim. I'm seeking advice on how to navigate this process and ensure I provide the necessary information without jeopardizing my claim.
