Sub: Warning for poor performance

Dear Mr. D’silva,

This letter is in regards to your poor performance that you have shown last month.

You have been working with us from last 6 months and during training it was told to you that your performance will be checked for 6 months, and you will be considered as permanent employee after your performance review.

But your performance is not up to the mark from last three months. You have failed to achieve your targets. If there is anything that you want to discuss with the management you are welcome. I expect you to start taking your new role more seriously and focus on giving good results.

Sincerely,

Roger Andrews

Dear Mr. Brown,

Subject: Warning for disobeying the code of conduct

Dear John,

This letter is in reference to your behavior that you have shown in yesterdays meeting. If you had any issues you could have sorted out in professional way.

The way you reacted in the meeting was not accepted. Being on the senior position we expect you to maintain the decorum. There are many juniors who are reporting to you and see you as mentor. But the reaction that you showed to prove you point was not accepted.

Considering your position and your tenure in the company we are just issuing you a warning letter. However, the management shall not tolerate such indiscipline in future.

Sincerely,

James Watson
