I started with a company in July of 2016 and he put me on a 6 month Probation, after 13 months with the company i received a new job offer and took it. gave my 2 weeks notice but only worked 1 week. New job didn't work out (less than 3 months). was hired back at first job and put on 6 month probation again and dropped my hourly rate back to the starting wage in 2016. ($2 / hr less). This seems to be a little over the top don't you think? is there anything i can do about this? When i was hired back again, i did agree to the probation cause i was desperate to be working again.
