Dear [Employee's Name],

I hope this letter finds you well. However, I regret to inform you that it has come to our attention that your recent actions and behavior in the workplace have been deemed insubordinate. As an employee of [Company Name], it is essential that we maintain a respectful and professional work environment, adhering to company policies and demonstrating cooperation with management and colleagues alike.

Specifically, the following incidents have been reported, which constitute insubordination:

1. On [Date], during a team meeting, you openly challenged the instructions given by your supervisor, Mr./Ms. [Supervisor's Name]. Your refusal to follow the outlined directives displayed a lack of respect for authority and a disregard for the chain of command within our organization.

2. On [Date], you were observed engaging in a heated argument with a fellow colleague, Mr./Ms. [Colleague's Name], which disrupted the workflow and created an unpleasant atmosphere for others in the vicinity.

3. On multiple occasions, you have been observed making disparaging remarks about the company's policies and decisions, both in private conversations and on social media platforms. This behavior undermines the company's reputation and is not in line with our values of promoting a positive work culture.

Insubordination is a serious offense that can have detrimental effects on team morale, productivity, and the overall harmony within the workplace. It is imperative that we address and rectify this behavior immediately.

As a result of your insubordinate actions, we have decided to issue you a formal warning. This warning serves as a notification that any further incidents of insubordination will not be tolerated and may result in more severe disciplinary actions, up to and including termination of employment.

We understand that workplace dynamics can be challenging, and employees may have concerns or disagreements at times. However, we expect all employees to address these issues through appropriate channels, such as discussing concerns with your immediate supervisor or human resources, rather than resorting to insubordinate behavior.

We strongly encourage you to take this warning seriously and to reflect upon your actions. We expect immediate improvement in your behavior and a commitment to conducting yourself in a professional and respectful manner moving forward.

Furthermore, we are arranging a meeting with you and your supervisor on [Meeting Date], to discuss the concerns raised and to provide an opportunity for you to share any issues you may be facing. This meeting will also allow us to establish clear expectations moving forward and to outline the consequences of any further insubordinate conduct.

Please be aware that future evaluations of your performance and conduct will be influenced by your response to this warning and your ability to maintain a respectful and cooperative attitude.

We believe in your potential as a valued member of our team and hope that you will take this warning as an opportunity for growth and positive change. However, please be advised that failure to demonstrate improvement in your behavior may result in more severe consequences.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
