Failed my probation meeting due to misconduct
Hey everyone, today I was informed I didnt pass my probation period at work due to "misconduct" that other staff members engage in too. I and other colleagues feel I was personally victimised since starting this position in december 2025. I was nitpicked and held to a standard where no matter how well I did there was still something to criticise.
I have been on benefits for one month during my employment as the hours given were not substantial enough to live off of. I asked my manager for more to which she said there were none to give only to find out days later my other colleagues were offered more hours due to some people quitting weeks back.
I have a job center meeting next week and im pretty terrified for it. I privately rent and live with my friend, I have no savings and no family to help me out of this situation. I am aware of the sanction policy which if this is the path they take would completely end my life to be completely honest.
I have a job history of 8 years, studying between that time. I've never been fired I have no criminal record. I'm just a stupid person who made a mistake which I thought was fine to make as everyone does it. What can I do to continue to be able to live in my home and eat a meal every day?
