I was let go from a call centre job after almost 4 months of employment. I was hired full time and before I was let go I was told to take emails opposed to taking inbound calls by the trainer as well as the fact that my performance had significantly improved. A few weeks later we were scheduled for a self performance review which then I was told by a trainer that I was actually scheduled for another meeting with the trainer and the manager just an hour before I was set to do a performance review. Which was strange as it was an unfamiliar meeting room as well as the fact that the trainer had a doctors appointment at that time as well. I was then let go without explanation and also informed that the probation period is not three months but is six months and can be extended to nine months if the employer chooses to do so. I contacted HR about this and about racist remarks and bullying by the trainer and manager and they have given me a run around. I had also booked vacation for the week after I was let go and it was not paid out. I never missed a day of work. I would often stay late to get more work done until they told me not to which got me suspicious. I would strongly appreciate your assistance in this matter. There is more to this story but I will discuss it via email. Am I entitled to any compensation and can my job be reinstated? Thanks

My employer suspended me without pay for calling in sick with the flu 3 days in a row.
