I am on a performance plan and I may be fired, is there hope?

Yes, there is always hope.
It is like a romantic relationship possibly getting to an end.
It may hurt, in fact it usually does, but it never means that you are an inherently bad person
Or that the other person was a bad a person.

The worst case scenario simply means that you were not meant to be/work together.
I have been fired two times in 15 years.
Both time, this had a very positive impact on me after the initial shock.
Not a general rule obviously, but a possible outcome.
