The absurd notice got people thinking about labor laws, unionization, and the ways low-wage workers are consistently taken advantage of.

    Eh…it’s not like they’re not requiring you to put in 2 weeks notice, just tell a manager “Fuck you, I quit” at minimum. That’s a pretty low bar. It’s literally just no ghosting. And not like there is any enforcement mechanism assumed anyway, it’s just a sign. Abusive employer situation, sure…no one would judge them and it’s not like they can legally do anything.

      They posted a rule that is inconsistent with state and federal law. That’s unethical and I think it should be illegal. Many employees do not understand their rights as workers, and many companies exploit that.

      The company could reword things such that the rule is a polite request. Or they could offer their employees contracts. Or they could offer a severance bonus if you give them notice. Those would all be reasonable, and I think contracts would be especially good.

        “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason” is inconsistent with the law as well.
