I honestly feel blindsided and don’t know if this is normal or fair.
I left a secure job because I was offered what was presented to me as a long-term opportunity with another company. Based on those promises, I took the risk and switched jobs.
I worked through my probation period, completed all my tasks, never had issues with attendance, barely even got days off, and nobody ever spoke to me about underperformance or concerns. In fact, they kept calling us in saying it was busy.
Now, right before my probation period was about to end, I was suddenly terminated without any real explanation. When I asked for a reason, they couldn’t provide one.
What bothers me most is that if there was genuinely a performance issue, I would understand. But there were no warnings, no feedback, nothing. Just termination out of nowhere after I left a stable job for them.
Has anyone in Nova Scotia dealt with something similar during probation? Do employees have any protection in situations like this, especially when they leave another job based on promises of long-term employment?
I also have a letter from my employer stating I will be with them for long term and they have no issues wirh my performance.
Edit: After reading all the comments I have come to realization that I am fucked. But do you giys know any place that’s currently hiring or something. This was very random and out of nowhere. I didn’t expected it so I had no backup plans.
