Dear Sir / Madam,

I would like to bring up this matter to your attention.

I was just employed by this company last month on the 10th of Nov 2014 as a Receptionist cum Admin Assistant under the accounts dept.

As usual I will have to go through the procedure of 3-month probation period.

I tried to learn as fast as I could on whatever that was taught as it was a new experience for me under quickbook.

So they concentrate more on teaching me on the invoices and quickbook and the company system called APS.

I tried to learn as fast as I possibly could. Everything was fine till they did a 1-week assessment on me.

They mentioned that everything was ok except for some of the jobs that I did not do – which was not taught nor was I given any instructions to do so.

Example, to wipe the photocopier machine every morning – which I was not given any screen wipes / solution to wipe it. It was kept by another colleague.

So during that assessment they asked if I have anything else to say and I told them it is good news to me but I am not sure if it is good news to the company that I am pregnant.

They did not say anything and the HR exec noticed the concern on my face and I told her yes I am because I need the job to cope with this pregnancy. So she said they will look upon my performance.

So I agreed because thinking its under 3-month probation period and I can learn more things and contribute to the company.

I did not take any sick leave for myself, I was never late for work, I do not have any conflicts with colleagues, the colleague who taught me quick book even said that I did no mistakes on the keying in on the system and invoices and I would even answer the phone calls within 1 phone ring.

Even when I have done an outstanding job, I would come up to her and even asked her if there’s anything else for me to do as I need to keep myself occupied with something and learn new things and she would say “nope not now”.

Apparently since the last week of November, I noticed the coldness from the colleagues.
