Problem with employer

Hello, a couple of problems with my current employer.
I've worked there since October. I was told it was 3 months probation. There has never been any problems and all supervisions came back positive. I don't have a contract, I did mention this to my boss a few months ago and she seemed surprised and said she would get her lady to look into it.
I was in a meeting with co workers last week. I haven't finished some work which was meant to be done and she basically said in front of everyone that I'll get sacked if it's not done by the next meeting. Is that normal, cause I would've thought somewhere more private would be more appropriate. It seemed the whole meeting was assumed at me and I got blamed for everything and nobody else did anything wrong. The manager also impersonated me at one point.
I get the feeling they really don't want me there now and after that I don't want to be anyway. But since I'm on probation and with no contact would I get any notice pay or anything if they get rid?

Hi
I know it is hard but you need a frank conversation with them and ask the question of have I past probation.0 -

Even if you have passed probation, they can pretty much get "rid" of you in the first 2 years. They would have to pay notice, so you need a copy of your contract to establish what that is. It will also tell you how much notice you have to give them if you are leaving of your own accord.
In the meantime you must sort out & deliver whatever task it is you were supposed to have done.
You should also feedback privately to your boss that you do not like being mocked (impersonation) as that is a form of bullying.

Ok thanks. But I don't have a contract. So that's why I'm wondering if I would get notice pay.
It's a small but very successful company, about to employees, no union.
I am actually off sick now, genuinely, but it probably doesn't look good. I have a sick note, due back in later in the week as long as I'm well.0 -
Doesn't let me edit so I meant to say about 40 employees0

Based on what you say, you do sound as if you might be being a bit over-sensitive and/or taking remarks the wrong way - understandable if you are feeling vulnerable. You need to talk to your employer and sort out where you stand - always easy to say and much harder to do, so make sure you are fully recovered and have thought through what you need to say before any meeting.0

What does that mean please.Snowflake generation?
Op contrary to what you say and think, you do have a contract. You had this the moment you walked into the place on your first day, although not written down. They have to abide by employers rulesmake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

I disagree. It's totally unprofessional for a manager to have a go at an employee in front of other people. The OP has every reason to be annoyed about it. Management seems to be poor if he hasn't been given a written contract despite asking about it and being told it would be sorted.
"Snowflake generation" refers to a generation with a sense of entitlement and a tendency to scream 'discrimination' or similar, when things aren't going the way they believe they should.0
