-n response to our meeting this past Monday which included a, b, c and myself, I must say first and foremost that I am caught off guard.  Over the past six months I have been working steadily with our team, on a variety of assignments and tasks.  During this time I've received no regular feedback to the contrary that my work has been helpful and largely sufficient.

+Josh then commented that an effort was made to "normalize" my Jira progress numbers against other team members'.  It seems my managers see how some of my tasks are organized differently in Jira compared to my colleagues.
 If the question of my performance is important enough to lead to an improvement plan, why was time not taken to refactor my tasks in Jira to allow for a more fair comparison?

 Larger tasks like mine are more prone to run long because we always review each other's code work before final submission.  I have a task which I completed back in late March and have asked repeatedly when the team will have time to review it, and its review is still not complete.
-I'm concerned about what the improvement plan is really intended to bring about.  In my annual review I was told to work on refining my code submissions for our standard review process.  I was told to follow Josh's instructions, which I have always done.  I've been doing both of these things all the months of this year, and I've had no special meetings called to discuss performance or any other unusual topic.

-My first concern about the plan is that not only is it presented suddenly, but that I've had very little contact and communication with my currect supervisor over the past eight months.  He was out on paternity leave four of those months.  I am further concerned that at my annual review this past January, he did not mentioned a single positive accomplishment I reached during the year in review for me.  That makes me feel isolated, and singled out, but I'm not sure why.

-After Monday's meeting it is especially troubling to me that Adam hasnot had sufficient time or interest to get to know my contributions, but instead relies on a report from someone else.

 My second concern about the plan is that it's not clear what is really driving it.  I followed the feedback I've gotten from Josh in his reviews of my code.  I have followed Adam's January review instructions to keep me head down on my own tasks and minimize questions to other team members.  I've had to figure more things out on my own as a result, and I'm told as of Monday I'm slowing the team down.  I'm not sure how that can be when I already request a bare minimum of help and time from others.
-It seems that this plan is motivated as much by a perception of my being slower as it is my being the oldest member on the team.  I think further that given it's well known that our project is overdue and over-budget, and we now have excellent contract developers of whom Cornell is able to hire for a half to a third the cost of my salary, there's a econonic motivation to end my position with the team.

-I think that our Jira numbers can be spun a lot of ways.  I think if there were a true interest in keeping on the team and helping me perform better that there would have been regular communication, and training offered and more questions asked.  There has been almost none of that.  I've had to go and take classes and seminars on my own in an effort to keep my skills up which are needed now and beyond our most immediate tasks.
+Our Jira numbers can be spun a lot of ways.  If there were a true interest in keeping me in good standing there would have been more regular communication, training offered and more questions asked.  There has been almost none of that.  I've taken classes and seminars on my own to improve my firmware skills which are needed now and beyond our most immediate tasks.
-I think that Cornell Pump has given a tepid response to my inquiries about continued learning because being older, they view me as having fewer working years to give the company whether I'm better trained or not.  I think that lack of acknowledgement that I've contributed in major ways in all my years here is a sign.  It is not the kind of sign I would expect from a manager who wants me to succeed and continue to contribute.  I feel singled out in this situation and not well supported.
