This. I get that the same experience can affect people differently, but this shouldn't be traumatic.
From my American perspective --
She had 'probation' extended. - My state is a 'right-to-work' state. Meaning a contract is pretty much worthless, and there's no probation.
She wanted to be fired and 'paid on the spot'? - Paid what? My manager could literally call me up this moment and fire me. For no reason. And I won't get any money, unless the company I work for elected to give me some pittance. There's no legal or societal expectation that they pay me anything.
In my experience, instead of feeling worthless, she should've taken her paid free time and brushed up her resume/skills for her next job.
- giaour 4y agoThere's a cultural expectation that a fired or laid off employee is entitled to severance (unless they were fired "for cause"), even in the absence of a legal requirement. You are also entitled to state unemployment benefits in the US if you are fired or laid off (again, unless fired "for cause"), whereas you're just on your own if you quit.
