Ouch!
You fella has my sympathy and support, but while he is on a probation period he realistically has no chance.

I have been in a similar situation, albeit quite a few years ago, and have recently seen my niece go through the same.

The best advice I can give. Stick with it and bluff it out until they end it to make sure he does not get dicked on his last months wages then move on.

You will not win if you try to contest it.

Accept that right now and it will save you gods knows how much stress over the next few months. They are the arseholes, not you, so don't let them into your heads.

Yes, employment laws still suck and play into the hands of bad employers but as long as you are a better person than the phsyco who employs you and sacks you, then you are still part of the long term solution, and not part of the problem.

Best of luck to you both.
