I started working in an accounting office of 3 people in Aug 2016, went on mat leave on Dec 2016 to Dec 2017, went back to work in Jan 2018. I was often sick with my child being sick and took 10 sick days in 2 months. One day in April 2018 my boss told me that performance is not up to his standard and let me go.
