I work at a call centre, I started March 6, 2017 and was let go today June 12, 2017. The reason for my termination was because I didn't meet the probation requirements. During my training, there was a process called "OJT" on job training and once the sales target was met and other requirements to graduate was met (which I met), then each person would be assigned a manager. I graduated from the OJT Process. Shouldn't the OJT process be the period where I should BE accessed if I'm a good fit for the company. When I asked what the probation requirement I was not told what the probabtion requirement was and I was also told I couldn't be told what they are. I was just told I was not a good fit for the company. I'm an immigrant and also a visible minority. Could this be a factor as to why I was terminated?
