Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

My husband is being asked by his employer to sign this :
I, John Smith , acknowledge that on numerous occasions I have been advised that I am taking too long to perform service work for customers, which is resulting in a financial loss for ABC Mechanical. I have been advised that the company cannot charge the customer for the amount of time I am spending at a job, and ABC has received numerous complaints from customers, resulting in the price having to be adjusted to a lower fee. My response is I am old and slow, which is not satisfactory and does not address the problem. Should this situation continue, I understand I will be terminated.
They have given him no proof or documentation showing any of the above claims. My question is this an legitimate document and what rights if any does he have? So far he is refusing to sign it, because they wont prove to him that any of this has happened.
Thanks J.S.

Your husband, of course, continues to have the right to refuse to sign this document but then, of course risks

the possibility of being fired which unless he has the protection of an employment contract with

provisions that may provide him with a sustainable claim to sue this employer for his damages but without which

he is probably without a viable remedy.
