I’m posting on behalf of someone else. Hopefully this isn’t overly generic but I don’t want any traceable details.
My friend is at a work from home job he hates and feels routinely belittled at. He is on probation as he just started three months ago after a long time of searching for a job.
He has gotten reports that he is doing poorly and just saw his job reposted on the job site that alerted him to the job in the first place. The probation is supposed to end next week but hasn’t gotten any formal notice and isn’t able to get in touch with his boss.
Is there any benefit to waiting it out for legal purposes? Or should he cut his losses and proclaim this Friday as his last day to eliminate the mental pain and discomfort?
Also within that time he has an opportunity to do some non contract anonymous work within his industry. He asked HR about conflict of interest and it cited vague clause. Clause didn't say anything being held to clause after leaving company. What are chances he can't take the contract position once he's done or that the company he’s at can come after him?
