So I work for a large company who basically handles HR work for bigger companies (Think McDonalds, Verizon, JPMC, Lockheed Martin, etc.) so their HR load is lighter. It's remote. I've worked here for nearly a decade and really enjoyed the position.
Right before the pandemic, we introduced a LiveChat feature. But due to the sensitive nature of some clients information we couldn't just have a contact center handle this and our positions- advertised with no schedule and complete flexibility- was suddenly changed to a 9 to 5.
Now most of us working here are shy, reclusive individuals who sought out this work to not speak to others or be limited to the 9-5 schedule.
The pandemic made for more remote positions, so much of our competent workforce have left.
I feel this new contract they want us to sign is because our jobs are essentially entirely different. Do I have any ground to stand on not wanting to sign or will I just be terminated? Or will this count as quitting with no option to obtain unemployment.
I wouldn't have planned to have kids when I did if I knew the flexibility to watch them during the day would be taken away. I feel wronged by my company but have no idea if I have any right to.
Any advice appreciated
