Zhihu was dismissed during the probation period.

If the employee is proved not to meet the employment conditions during the probation period, the employer may terminate the labor contract. In order to prove that the employee does not meet the employment conditions, the employer should first clarify the employment conditions when recruiting or signing a labor contract; Secondly, during the probation period, there should be strict and continuous assessment to prove whether the workers meet the employment conditions. Therefore, employees can completely say no to the employer's arbitrary dismissal of employees during the probation period. Even if the employee goes to court with the employer, the risk of losing the case lies with the employer. If the employer is allowed to dismiss the employee at will during the probation period, that is, to terminate the labor contract with the employee without reason, it will certainly harm the interests of the employee, which is obviously not conducive to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the employee. Combined with the labor contract law and other laws, even during the probation period, the dismissal of employees by the unit must comply with the regulations. Therefore, whether the probation period can be dismissed without reason, the answer is no.
