# I don't think it would be really.
When you receive an email which states:
'The purpose of the meeting is to discuss your performance and attendance levels which are leading me to contemplate action that could involve the termination of your employment'.

Could be out of a job by the end of the week.

# Ah! Not good
Do you think they have a point, or do you know otherwise?

# I do think they have a point
but on the other hand in the last two to three months my absence and timekeeping have greatly improved, and in the last month I've been carrying out very important work and doing it well.

# Do you think you could argue a case?
Maybe try to get a probationary period or something?

# I'm still in my probationary period
that's the problem. It's been extended twice already :(

# Ah.
Not much I can say then, but 'good luck'!

# Thanks :)
I think I have a fairly strong case... I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

# Erk!
In that case, I amend my offer to a firebomb and a whole case of 'disappearing evidence'.

# whaaa?
your boss must be a knob

I'd never treat any of my employees like that

# That's HR.
My boss simply hasn't given me the support I needed in order to overcome issues which were raised in the past.

# do you work for an enormous faceless corporation?

# I work for a huge IT contractor
which unfortunately means that I'm not exactly invaluable as an employee, because they can just put another bod in my place.

large companies are generally shit to their employees:

Dilbert’s boss: I’ve been saying for years that “employees are our most valuable asset.” It turns out that I was wrong. Money is our most valuable asset. Employees are ninth.
