HR saying i didn't declare my needs when I did-- Passing probabation in question
So i had supervision at work on Monday, the work place ive bern taljing anoyt on here quite a bit and had a few issues with the place/manager etc..
He was nice on Monday. was preety verbal so that helped. My 6month probation quota ended july byt I hadn't passed so my manager extended for further 12 weeks (i thibk about normal extension is 4 weeks , but because I'm sessional and possibly a mistake he did it 12) so that brings it to October but he then got pulled up saying that it needs to end in September but because his done it to 12 his sticking to end of October. He was going to request HR for further because I've had a few difficulties and lack of shifts given to me. Though...HR have now turned around saying i didn't declare my autism during onboarding which I did, and they even flagged i have a "mental/physical impairment to my manager " so my probation can't be extended further (than it already is) on those grounds, even though my manager said she has autism so needs longer thryve said no . I hsve to have an occupational health assessment and maybe after then but otherwise after October its i either have the job or don't! -- what am I supposed to b do?? I'm scared! My manager was nice about it he said at moment if i carry om as am then I'm on track but need to be more confident and have faith. Ive got 5 further shifts till i have to pass it. His listee the adjustments so its recorded. I want to pass it bit worried I may not because of my difficulties and like this is making it seem im being cussed because if my autism and thats not my fault!
He probed me on hoe I was feeling? How thivngs are at home and I ended up disclosinng to him about my dad's Canc** diagnosed (my other places if work knew not him) but like he spoke to me about it and shared his dad also has Canc** but I knoe feel embarrased because he knows! Want to hide!
Ut fely like the supervision was more tailored towards me, less template heavy and felt like he wanted to emgage with me like he had the time for me. He praised me voluntarily normally when praise section comes he asks me i say none and he moves on. This time he said i want to praise you for... which was nice.

Childline. I was moving on from Childline and I found a link to The Mix somewhere on their website.

Re: How did you find our Community?
Childline. I was 18 when I found the childline website so I looked at the stuff they had on where to go when you’re too old for their service.
work experience
yes, im making another post on here in the space of a few minutes. so during our first year we have to complete 35 hours of mandatory work experience in the business sector. so it could be anything related to business like marketing or finance. and obviously since i want to do a chartered manager degree apprenticeship i have to focus around the finance side of things. so i sent in eight companies to the work experience adviser that im hoping to do work experience in and shes going to contact them for me to see if i can do work experience during the october half term. we're supposed to do it around february time however i can do it in the october half term. im planning to do it earlier since i want to relax on that week that most other people are doing work experience. and i say most because those with part-time jobs can just sign off their work experience straight away if its related to business. so theyre lucky. anyways i hope i can get work experience for one of these companies.
chatgpt at the rescue
i had chatgpt do my homework for me and i believe that it was due today so i did it last minute. i know i shouldnt really be doing this but i honestly cant be asked to do any pieces of homework.

@Redemption - thanks. it has been a little while since i've properly been on here other than the odd message here or there. Hope you're doing well too.
