Hi everyone,
I have a query regarding termination which I faced for the first time in my professional career. In the month of July, I was appointed with one of the manufacturing companies. Accordingly, I joined the company in the month of August and reported to the head office, which is in Indore (Madhya Pradesh). However, within my probationary period, i.e., within 3 months, without giving prior notice or information, they terminated me without providing exact clarification. Is there any support on behalf of the employee to get compensation for the damage caused to the employee's career?

Dear Raghu,
What has happened to you is quite unfortunate; nevertheless, this is your version. Unless we come to know the viewpoint of the other side, no proper comments can be given.
The removal of an employee during probation is an exception and should not be routine. During your probation, did you have a face-off with any superior? Was there any lapse of judgment in your past that made your superiors lose trust in you? Was there any complaint from a customer or supplier?
The removal of an employee during probation depends on the terms mentioned in the appointment letter. Therefore, you may check the relevance of this letter.
At this stage, take this incident as an accident in your career and move on. Nevertheless, there is a lesson to learn from this incident, and the lesson can only be learned provided you do introspection.
Thanks,

Dear Raghu,
Sorry to hear that! Did you check what the terms and conditions of your appointment were during the probation period? On the other hand, who were the competent persons in your position before you joined this company? Have you checked with him/her (ex-employee) why he/she left the job?
Through this, you might get a better understanding of the exact scenario and your next steps.

Dear Raghu,
Sorry to hear about this setback in your career! Dineshji and Mr. Sandi have given the right advice, to which I would like to add a bit. Please have a frank discussion with your superior and try to know why they did this. Surely, you will move on in your career with another organization, but this discussion may make you aware of any shortcomings in you. Remember, there are traits of personality in each of us that are unknown to us but known to others. Knowing this shall definitely help you to move ahead more smoothly in the future.

Dear Mr. Raghu,
The incident that occurred in your career is unfortunate. What our friend Mr. Dinesh quoted is one hundred percent correct in practicality. Have you checked your appointment order? There must be a clause stating that in case of any unsatisfactory performance during the probationary period, termination can be done by giving one day's notice without assigning any reasons. If it exists, you cannot challenge the company's decision. There must be a reason without which the company cannot take such a drastic action against an employee. Unless you provide the correct feedback, it is not proper to comment on your query.

Probation period is to judge the suitability of an employee for absorption into a permanent position. Your appointment order would have provided more details on the conditions. Obviously, in the company's opinion, you may not have been deemed suitable for the particular position.
Terminating probationary employees also must be done by following procedures such as counseling, etc. However, your case is unfortunate. As learned members advise, it is best to move on. If you can understand where, in the company's opinion, you have fallen short, you could try to improve in that area.
