My partner has been told his 3 month probation is being extended to 4 months, because his manager has been off work for the past 3 weeks. He is 2 months into the job.
They said there are no performance concerns and they are happy with his work, they just want him to have finished his project by the end of probation.
Does this sound like an excuse? Is he at risk
of being fired? I’m worried sick.
