Is your bullying, insecure line manager called Trump by any chance?
A probationary period may be implemented by any company when they feel the employee has done something sever enough to warrant a cooling off period.I'm no employment law expert, as i'm about to demonstrate, but i'd seriously question whether he's actually allowed to put you back on probation. Obviously it'll all depend on your contract but the point of a probationary period is that it's an opportunity when you first start employment for the employer to assess if you're capable of doing the job, identify any training needs etc and for you to see if you are happy in the job. I can only speak for myself but if having completed my initial probationary period which was, i think, 6 months (it was a long time ago) my employer had problems with my performance then i wouldn't have been put back on probation, it would have been handled through structured performance management and, ultimately, disciplinary proceedings.
Oh I'm a stickler for that sort of thing ramone, Its all on here on me lap top so just a case of printing off if neededKeep copies of everything ! Just in case your new employer does ask why you left to the old employer.
At least then you can show them your reasons for leaving.
