    They have not been fired for wanting to go part time or having a mental health issue; they have been been fired for taking time off sick with depression during their probationary period and clearly indicating to the employer that this would be an ongoing theme.

    I don't see how that alters things.

    I mentioned it because people seem to be saying "there must be more to it". I don't see why; I am not in the least surprised they sacked someone who took presumably a considerable time off and requested part-time working in the first couple of months of the job.
