"If we find out you are applying for jobs elsewhere you'll be terminated" (collect, interviewing)

Maybe he has two jobs or stays late at the office.

Pretend you're buying a car, you sign a contract with the price, warranty, monthly payment, etc. Right as you are about to drive away, the sales manager runs out and says, "oh by the way, if you don't park in a garage, your warranty will be voided." You have 3 options now, one is going back and asking them to cancel your contract, the other is ignoring it, the third is building a garage and parking in it.

Most likely you'll say, "whatever," with the knowledge that you have a contract, and this guy is a knucklehead.

I'm not sure what kind of company you work for, but you can generally not make such large amendments to an employment contract without permission.

At any rate, how unreasonable is it (therefore unlikely)? I work for a large company, and can guarantee that we aren't a third rate shop who abuses their employees.

It was a bad management decision/statement. It ends there. But you being the HR "professional" are convinced that you can modify contracts without consent...

Yeah, your analogy just doesn't work at all. Good luck with that though.

I have known many who have worked as bank tellers-- and I have never known any who had a job so integral to the operations of the bank that they had to be there 70 hours a week.

Yeah that does not add up. Unless they are doing something else in addition to being a teller.

That's it. I've been going in at 8 and usually leaving around 7:30 Monday through Saturday because we just rolled over to a new way of processing checks which requires that we stay several hours late to process and make the changes to our ledgers.

So wheelsup, next time instead of making a fool of yourself because you don't have your facts, why don't you ask a question first? Pretend you're an adult at least...

With that schedule, how do you plan to interview with other employers?

The issue was that they CUT his hours from that to about 30 hours/week; I don't think he was doing much interviewing before that.

^^^^^^

Don't waste your time with this poster. I've seen more than a few posts where this poster was just pulling things out of his/her butt.

You make several broad, simplistic, and very generous assumptions 1) that McDonald's even has openings, 2) would interview you among the dozens if not hundreds of other out of work people seeking employment, 3) would choose somebody like yourself who is more likely to quit when something better comes along over a high school, college kid, retiree or someone else more likely to stay than you. Your prospects and likelihood of hire are exceptionally unrealistic but I'm glad that you are not worried about them. You better hope that you don't ever have to put it to the test either as you will be in for quite the reality check.

Nobody wants to lose their job with a termination on their record but things happen. Your employer has every right to fire you if you aren't happy being there and obviously would rather be somewhere else.

lol, What are you whining about? WRONG. I have worked doing some contract work in the last less then 2 years. But who cares we are not talking about me, And yes you said that and were going to quit because you were so over worked for one week. LOL! You really are hilarious. I see you supposedly got another job offer. lol, Let me guess you didn't take it because the town was to liberal. LOL. Oh my, You really are a silly conservative if that's what you base your life on. You have a lot of pie in the sky stuff that seems to never happen. Hmmmmm. Speaking of meds. I suggest an appointment for you with a doctor ASAP.

Looks like Southbound has been terminated . . . by city-data.
