Yes, as the signature on the performance evaluation merely admits that you have received it and it was discussed with you, not that you agree with anything said. Your boss does not want someone who is too stubborn to sign when they are refusing because they do not understand what their signature means. You probably are an "at will" employee so can be fired without any reason being given. [this is not a workers' compensation question].
