A company cannot legally force resignation only because of a “Needs Improvement” rating, especially after 16.5 years of service, without following proper employment procedures. You should avoid resigning under pressure until you review your employment contract, HR policies, and performance records. Ask the company for written reasons and maintain all emails and documents safely. If unfair termination occurs, you may challenge it legally depending on your employment status and company policies.
