Coping with/after dismissal

Hi,

I feel like I'm in a crazy situation which feels now like a silencer on going forward in the employment.

I've now know of another colleague dismissed. All have quite bizarre versions it is just getting really nervy, the lastest reckons they stood up to the Employer. We'd started in a group and one by one there has been people let go. I personally think I'm next with being refused coaching this week and given a date for discussion next week when my probation is meant to end. It's turned how I feel about the company and role even if I thought I could stick it out. I said Monday I had concerns about the job and fortunately didn't say much more at this point (but can't afford to resign.)

Do I admit to knowing some of the group have been dismissed?

Sorry OP, you sound really stressed but your post doesn't really make any sense and it's hard to know what you're asking?

It's not clear what you are asking but the fact that other employees have been let go (not passed probation?) is not necessarily relevant to your situation so I am not sure why you would consider bringing it up in a conversation?

My Mum suggested I ask directly in advance if they will let me go like the others. It has got really quiet and turns out the business is one of those seasonal ones.

I feel like I'm getting feed different versions of the people who have already been let go. Apparently one person has said whilst they understood they were temp to perm, they were issued with confirmation of placement not realising there was an end date showing.

I guess this is the hardness when you are remote/working from home. I genuinely don't know if you should pretend not to know the work colleagues have gone.

Do you want to be let go? Otherwise I am not sure why you would suggest this? Again, what may or may not have happened to your colleagues (which you don't seem to know for certain) is not relevant here. Also which job is this? In previous posts from begininng of March you suggested you were waiting for quite a long time for a contract for a job due to start end of March? Presumably this is not the job which you are now thinking of leaving as you mention end of probation? So if you have a new job to go to, why all the angst about what is happening or not in this role?

In your position I would not say anything. I would however be looking for another job just in case.

Just start looking for another job.
It is good for employees in the market at the moment.

Thank you, I kept the other job on the back foot because I guess I felt something funny was really going on, but it wasn't until they let started letting others go with specific reasons under 2 years (all odd as I've always thought you don't have to give a reason under 2 years) and citing it was a seasonal business of a warehouse that I've really panic'd - I've quickly got another job (non-remote) in a small company, in literally days, an opening appeared in credit control which I've always wanted to get into and after a very quick interview, I heard I've been successful to start fairly soon so my problem is less so then when I first posted, it just made my blood run cold what they'd done to someone else, we all started together as a group believing there was a future for each one of us and if you have a seasonal business why wouldn't you keep on good terms moreso with people prepared to temp. I appreciate I don't know the facts and I've truly learnt never to assume.
