Add Comment Question: Can my employer put me on a six-month probation even though I served three months probation 20 years ago, all because my boss reported me on an unsubstantiated claim of lapse in my performance? I say unsubstantiated because if the complaint had objectively been reviewed HR would have noticed that my boss had acted in a bad faith. Answer: The idea of probation after working for 20 years is nonesense. It means nothing. It does not give your employer any new rights. Do your job the best way that you can and if there any issues, give me a call.
