We work in Illinois as security. It’s one guy in a booth checking people in/out. We do not work for the actual store but are contracted out through a security company.
So my coworker was offered another job by a guy coming through. He accepted it as it paid more. The job he accepted was with another company that is also subcontracted through the store. Coworker calls the boss to tell him he’s putting in his two weeks, he even has a friend lined up to take his position to make things easier on our boss. Boss throws a fit on the phone when he finds out he was offered a job on shift. My buddy works for the new company for one day and then gets a call from his new boss saying the previous boss said he was poaching his employees and that he won’t allow that. And now my coworker is back working the original security job. The security boss basically screwed him over. How is this even legal?
