I have been on a job with 6 months probation and end of my probation period my manager sent a letter that I have not fully met the required criteria for the role and cited a reason and stating that they are extending my probation for another 3 months to assess further and also stated that they see potential in me and are confident that with their guidance I could achieve the expectation and meet their requirements to be a permanent employee of the company.

Though I didn’t want to be that open and discuss about the letter of extension, I couldn’t contain myself when the topic came up for a different reason. The point is at a given point when you escalate an issue with your manager and make decisions based on discussion if things don’t go the way you expected could he still pin it on you for negative results?

The manager never gave me any criteria’s or had even any scheduled meetings during my 6 months, despite my several requests. How do I move forward?

Are you having regular touch bases with your manager to receive feedback on a regular basis, and that way you can also assure that their expectations are clear for what they need from you?
And always go into these meetings with a positive attitude and appreciation of their time and help. Try not to show your frustration with the situation.

Thank you. I have been in regular chat with him however he never offered any negative feedback. I did go in to a meeting with him on his letter of extension of probation and I did tell him that he’s unfair to cite the reasons that he had without any evidence. Did explain it to him about complete sequence and as expected he did come out with real reason citing the business needed to have more time to assess me as they were not able to allocate me the right budget and accounts yet and may be thinking of reducing my salary due to low business activity. I’m not sure how to respond to this yet.
