My friend started a new job two weeks ago. The first two weeks were training at a different branch. Today was her first day in her role at her actual branch. As soon as she got there she was told by the manager they were going to have a meeting about her training. My friend was told that the manager who had been training my friend didn't think she was suitable for the role. As a result, my friend was today dismissed, but told they would pay her until the end of the week.
Is this really allowed? I feel so bad for her. She has signed a contract with them, which she is going to read over again. She left her previous job for this, so she's now left unemployed. I just want to get some advice I can pass on to her.
This has really knocked her confidence as she was out of work for most of last year and got a job just before Xmas. She left that one to start this one as it was a higher position, more money, and she had actually applied for this job first and have 3 interviews. But she was offered the other job first just before Xmas, so she took it because she really needed a job. Two weeks after starting that job, she was offered this one. I just feel terrible for her, that she left one job to start this one and is now left with nothing.
