I've been working at a very small law firm for the last 2 months. Still in probation period. I've just been sacked as they think my home life will prevent me from undertaking the notoriously difficult exams.... I've been doing great at the work, as told by manager, but the main boss clearly doesn't like the baggage of me having kids (I'm the first person with children they have ever hired) and sacked me, via email, TODAY on a bloody Sunday! Told me not to even bother coming in tomorrow! Nothing I can even do about it as I was in my probation period! So upset as this was my dream career and I was so lucky to get a training contract. They didn't even pretend it was to do with my work, they just said in their experience I won't be able to complete it due to "flexibilities" I may need in the future. Just venting. Arseholes.
