AIBU to think dismissal during probation was unfair given autism adjustments?

In all fairness she does have an attitude. She has zero self reflection and keeps writing things like ffs which just comes across as aggressive and unprofessional. The biggest thing holding the op back right now is the op and she needs to have some self reflection otherwise she will never find a job suited to her. Pretending this isn’t the case won’t help her.

Ok, do you like the work you were doing? If so, you need to look at what other similar things are out there but in a slower paced environment.

You need to think realistically and have a good reflection on what parts of the jobs you did well at and what parts were too difficult/ you weren’t suited to. Use that as a basis for looking at if a job is suitable for you.

Make an appointment with a job coach and talk it through with them.

For the parts that you struggled with but which you will need in a job going forward look at how you can address your deficiencies in these areas. Here focus on what you can do to adapt rather than what other should do to support you.

You’re just being incredibly unkind she doesn’t have an attitude she’s stating facts

We don’t know that. We don’t know what the company did or didn’t do. The op talks about needing timely feedback - this is something that can be interpreted differently, the op may have been given what is considered timely feedback but maybe she was expecting it on an hourly basis which isn’t realistic. Again being given example of the work before … you can only give that if the same thing had been done before.

You won’t get or keep a job with such a poor attitude.

You’ve failed twice at consulting so clearly it’s not a fit for you. You need to look at something else.

you should consider public sector as the fast pace of consulting seems to be difficult for you.

you will probably have to consider a lower grade role than you would like and are unlikely to be successful at à graduate trainee role at this stage as you don’t appear to be able to take on feedback at the level that would be required in a graduate role.

regardless of any reasonable adjustments put in place, make sure you read and take note of all policies and procedures and abide by them.

if you make a mistake apologise. Dont just say you won’t do it again.

don't use AI unless you have had specific clearance to use it.

when emailing people or messaging make sure you put the social niceties in - I hope you had a nice weekend, have a nice weekend, isnt the weather lovely for example, as every job has a social element.

We can see your posts 🤔

I thought you were referring to this as an awful thing to say: "ffs. now help me find a job" but I see I was mistaken.

Wow what a really awful thing to say.

The adjustments weren’t embedded.

There have been 474 posts on this thread, plus all the other posts on your other two threads you started yesterday on the same subject.

Many, many posters have given you all sorts of advice which might help you find your next job, but it seems you don't want to take it on board and you just want to continue to be rude to experienced people who have given their time to give you advice.

There are many, many graduates out there fighting for every job. I don't know why you think anyone here would want to give you any more advice when you have just been rude and unwilling to take on the advice already given.

This isn’t school and swearing is allowed

I suspect you'll be dismissed from the thread if you keep swearing at people and being so rude.

There’s a massive difference between recording on internal firm telephone recording systems, and someone recording it surreptitiously on their personal mobile. And the idea that OP’s adjustments are standard requests which would benefit everyone is laughable, sorry. I work in a similar environment - it’s incredibly fast paced, circumstances pivot in an instant, there are immediate short term deadlines. OP’s requirements are not feasible in tier 1 graduate programmes; most people can not keep up with this pace. It’s not specific to autism.

If a probationer did that at my work they would be escorted from the building and have their pass removed.

Having autism does not allow you to commit gross misconduct with impunity. We have a duty of care to all staff, we will not abuse that to accommodate someone like the OP.

And using AI for transcription at my work is actively encouraged and if someone recorded a call that was already being recorded there's no way we'd discipline them for that, assuming they did it on work systems. (Though admittedly I don't know why you wouldn't just get the formal recording and use that instead.) I think it's a bit of an overreaction if the people on the call already knew they were being recorded.

“Entitled” is the right word. It’s entitled to assume that the world has to adapt to your needs. It does not. You are employed for the benefit of your employer, not for you, and they have requirements.

They are required to accept “reasonable” adjustments, but as the OP has shown, some people demand they go vastly beyond this. At that point the right thing for an employer to do is to have them escorted from the building and try again.

I’m a lawyer so slightly different. I would aim to do most of this most of the time when supervising but it just wouldn’t be feasible for every piece of work, particularly not for qualified staff. For a trainee or very junior member of staff I’d aim to do it more.

If something is urgent, I want to be able to brief someone in a 5 minute call rather than in writing (and the same might apply if I’m travelling). I will send examples of work when I can but won’t always have one and might not want a junior to just follow a previous example anyway. I might give a junior member of staff “objectives” but, depending on the piece of work, I might expect whoever I’m briefing to work these out from context. I often give specific feedback but I might expect a junior to review my mark-up of their work and work out what they could have done differently from this. Or not have time to give feedback immediately.

If I had to do everything the OP asked every time I asked a junior to support on something it would make my job much harder and realistically I would just use another junior who doesn’t take up so much of my time and where I won’t get into trouble for supervising in the wrong way.

Ah, a Griddlebone-safe workplace that still places some value on integrity!

Where I am you can use copilot (with constraints) but you arent allowed to use anything else.

Well, how about you and the rest of society put in the work to stop me floundering by abstaining from using chatGBT then, eh? You know, as a reasonable adjustment to my autism?

Mmm?

If your attitude and communication is like it is in the workplace, they were absolutely correct in sacking you.

If you cannot understand how rude, agressive and dismissive you are being on this thread, there's little anyone here can do to help you.

Surely they are all considered best practice in consulting, critical for managing high-performing teams, preventing costly rework, and ensuring client deliverables meet expectation.

It’s probably best you don’t tar every company with your poor experience.
