I was wondering if you guys can help me out a bit. I feel like I have been wrongfully dismiss by my general manager.
I had 5 days left off my probation and he decided to terminate me on Nov 9, 2018. He came in early 30 min before my shift ended and he gave me my termination letter. The termination letter said that it was effective on Nov 8 2018, but I still work from 11:00 pm of Nov 8 until Nov 9, 6:30 pm. Now my coworker said that my former manager hired a person that has the same national origin as him. I feel like that is discrimination, because I did nothing wrong. I worked hard. I don't sleep on the job. I did my job and did not receive any complains from my coworker.

Normally the point of a probation period is that either party can stop the contract early if things are not working out. Maybe that's what happened here. Just because another person was hired from the same country as your boss, does not mean there is illegal discrimination going on. Even if you did nothing wrong does not mean you are a good fit for the company or position.

This could very well be a case of discrimination or nepotism (the latter more likely) but unless you have definitive proof that you were let go due to your ethnicity or nationality, your best bet would probably be to let it go and move on. You didn’t provide any information as to the details of your contract or your location, but under most circumstances, it’s perfectly legal to dismiss an employee without needing to cite a good reason. This is especially true given you were on your probation period.

The probationary period is meant for the company to try out the candidate and be able to terminate the relationship more easily should the candidate turn out to be a poor fit for the company. The poor fit could have been purely from a culture perspective and not related to your work performance.
The former manager hiring someone of the same nationality isn't sufficient evidence of discrimination unfortunately. I would focus your attention on finding a new position and definitely make sure you got paid for your work from 11:00 pm of Nov 8 until 6:30 pm Nov 9. The error in your termination letter could cost you a day's compensation.

Since you were on your probation period, you cannot do anything about it, and to claim some ethnicity problems you must have some very good facts on your side.
You can only insist that he modify the date on the letter to be able (if they are not doing it) to pretend the pay of the additional day you worked else they can try to pay you a day less which is not correct.
What you can do, if you really want to fight, is to try to find out if there is a long string of people hired and then fired just before the end of the probation period.
This because, depending on where you live/work, it can be an illegal thing to do since this way the employer is abusing some facilitation he can have where hire people.
To be clear: it is not illegal to fire one/two person while in probation period, but if you have a string of 10/15 people which got hired and the fired just before the ending of the probation period this can be suspicious and, depending on where you are based, can be a base for an investigation (I have a direct experience about it)
But even this will not give your job back, it will only (eventually) punish a bad employer abusing the rules.

Normally the point of a probation period is that either party can stop the contract early if things are not working out. Maybe that's what happened here. Just because another person was hired from the same country as your boss, does not mean there is illegal discrimination going on. Even if you did nothing wrong does not mean you are a good fit for the company or position.
