Well, gentleman, please provide sufficient information. Confirm whether you have raised the query for yourself or for someone else. When did the recruitment take place? What was the probation period, and why was the probationer fired by the company? What misconduct did he/she commit? Was the termination due to underperformance? Before termination, did the company give any warning or chance to improve? If yes, what type of correspondence took place between the terminated employee and the company?
Furthermore, what were the conditions of separation for a probationer mentioned in the appointment letter? Did the company adhere to those conditions or not?
Companies hire to maintain operational continuity or business growth. They do not hire to fire. There must be compelling reasons. Yes, occasionally termination could be due to the wrong hire, but that is a different case.
Thanks,
