I’ve been in a situation similar to this but it wasn’t clearly illegal of my employer. The pandemic exacerbated my depression and anxiety significantly (and unmasked ADHD), so my performance fell considerably. They didn’t take any of that into consideration however.
Lesson learned – self identify as having a disability. Employers are required by law to ask that, and depression and anxiety are considered disabilities for it. Get it on record so you have a stronger legal case if they do fuck you over.
