# Well, exactly.
I asked them what they needed to do and they said 'there are still a few issues we need to clarify'.
Sounds to me as though they're saying 'we want to fire you but we don't have enough information to back it up'.
I do have a right to appeal against the decision but I don't know if I can actually be bothered if it means going through all this shit.

# Hmmm....
Sounds like you'd be better off without them...

Though having said that I've just persuaded Mrs Broom to quit her job and do voluntary stuff until she finds a job worth having, so I'm clearly in that kind of mood.

# Should have made it clear...
I'm supporting her through that six months as well...

I don't know if that was sarcasm or not, but just in case, I thought I'd defend my actions...

# no not at all
You just don't come across this sort of kindness very often anymore. I'm genuinely pleased.

# Well it's kind of self serving too...
I mean, it's much nicer being around someone who's happy...

I know what you mean though, too many people are out for themselves these days...

# There's no way I can afford it unfortunately.
If I lose this job, I have major problems.

Couldn't you earn a fortune somewhere else?

# I could
but the problem is that I can't manage in the meantime.
Also I have serious concerns over what my next potential employer would say if I informed them I failed my probation in my previous position.

# Don't inform them of that...
It's a bugger with references / P45 thoguh I'll grant you... You can't just pretend you weren't there...

# sounds like they're case building to me.
start looking around for something else. they're going to be noting down everytime you fart without permission and it's only a matter of time.
