VerifiedHello this is Eleanor and I am happy to assist.
Yes it is fair to dismiss for any or no reason in the probation period. Preparation is a great way of showing insight and value so I would reply a response that focuses on what you bring to the company in value and if possible tie it to the overal bottom line.

I need advise from workplace issue. I need help to write a
I work for a Houston, TX hospital. I was put on probation for six months making three minor mistakes at work. The probation is mostly based on my manager's claim that I do not learn quickly or adjust quickly to new policies. But, I am confident she is just looking for an excuse to fire me because many other employees have made similar mistakes without receiving such harsh punishment. BTW, I am 50 years old. I am not sure if there is law to protect me about not learning fast. I was about to transfer to another department and now I cannot transfer because of this probation. I would like hire an attorney only to help write a response to HR challenging the probation since it is preventing me to transfer to another department. I don't want to sue or be presented by an attorney at this time.… read more
