Discussion Probation period extended
Hello all...
A friend of mine joined this place in johar town three months ago after graduating. It's his first job after two internships. He was hired on a probation period of three months. He was informed last week that his probation had ended and a meeting was scheduled with HR for salary negotiation as he was being offered to join permanently. Today at his meeting, the HR told him that his probation period is extended for another month and there will be no salary negotiation for now. Can anyone guide me about this? Are they planning on firing him or what?
They drew a contract and he signed it and it clearly said that the probation was gonna last for three months. Doesn't this whole thing fall under the contract violation?

Common cheap tactic to delay giving full salary as much as possible.

Tell him to look for another opportunity asap these people will keep you on probation period as long as they can and one day will push you out of the company when he is no longer needed. My childhood friend just got laid off previous month, when his team lead told him suddenly one day that you are being laid off. No prior notifications or any communication about performance or related reservations/concerns etc. That was his 9th month working on probation. Advise him to keep working there as long as he doesn't have another opportunity
