Looking for views on whether I have any employment law options here.

What happened:

Joined a company \~10 months ago.

Manager had a grudge from day one — CPO had to give exception to him on salary, and he assumed I'd join within 2 weeks without checking my notice period.

First 3 months: no performance issues raised

He then initiated a mid-probation check-in that no other employee was subject to, citing vague concerns based on his own preconceptions.

He then extended my probation by 3 months.

I worked with HR to establish clear, objective, written criteria for passing probation.

Delivered against all criteria; last negative feedback was 4 months ago.

Since then, only positive feedback and assurances I was on track.

Now suddenly dismissed — no new performance concerns raised.

Why this feels legally significant:

I was singled out with a process no other employee faced.

HR-agreed objective criteria were met.

Dismissal came despite sustained positive feedback and no new issues.

Questions:

Does being singled out for a probation process not applied to others constitute differential/discriminatory treatment?

Can I argue the dismissal was procedurally unfair even under 2 years service, given HR set objective criteria I demonstrably met?

Any value in a Subject Access Request (SAR) to obtain internal communications before deciding next steps?

I understand unfair dismissal rights typically vest at 2 years, but I'm wondering if there's anything here around wrongful dismissal, discrimination, or breach of implied contractual terms.

Hi Everyone,

I was on skilled worker visa and came with my dependents in July 2021.

I switched my employer 10 month ago for a better role (AI product management).

They first extended my probation on some random issues. Then suddenly one day, without any bad feedback or any warning, just terminated me.

I am just 2 months away from my ILR and requested a lot to just put me on unpaid leave but they are non responsive.

I am applying for new sponsored job but not getting so quickly.

Please suggest what else I can do. 🙏🙏

More context on what happened:I

The new company/manager took exceptions from CPO to match my salary as I was getting good salary (130k+) in my old company.

My manager assumed I will join immediately within 2 weeks without even checking with me. Obviously I couldn't due to longer notice period.

Since then, I believe he kind of hold the grudge.

For first 3 months, everything was okay. He was asshole but did not find any issue with my work.

Then suddenly one day, he said we will have mid probation check-in (no other employee had to go through this) and wrote random stuff from his own preconceptions.

He was extremely nitpicking and was digging for any minor issues or manufacturing issues.

I tried to work through his madness. Came up with a plan and started doing things that made him happy e.g. telling every single thing which I was doing.

He started giving good feedback but extended my probation saying I need to show this performance for longer time.

I worked with HR to get a clear objective criteria for passing probation.

I worked hard and delivered on those criteria.

Since it was objective, there were no black and white.

I was pretty confident that I should be fine.

I used to check with him weekly and he would say yes everything is on track.

Suddenly one day, he secretly pulled HR in our 1:1 and told me I failed my probation.

They gave me 2 week severance and that's it.

All of my access was suddenly gone.

I wrote email to the HR , escalated to VP of HR to just put me on unpaid leave till my ILR.

They are inhuman and not even responding.

What should I do.
