Lol.



And you don't think they should?   Is common courtesy that much of a lost notion?

Is the 18 y/o kid working at McD's a full-time employee?
 

My guess is NO. If he is, sure, give two weeks. I've never left a job (including my part-time HS) jobs without giving two weeks notice but if you aren't a full-time employee, I don't think that is necessary.
 

If companies want the courtesy of two weeks, only hire full-time employees. Then I would agree that two weeks notice is necessary. Hell, put in in the contract. I bet the kid would follow that common courtesy in exchange for benefits.

It would be unwise to burn bridges, regardless of the job or its status of employment. You're not only doing them a favor and being courteous, you're doing yourself one later on in life. You have no idea where you'll run into people again, and people don't forget that stuff.

Agreed, but that needs to run both ways. At my previous employer, it was pretty much standard practice to call someone they were going to fire in at 4:45 on a Friday and tell them to be off the premises by 5. And if there were any protests, they'd point at the employment contract and say, "Make that 4:55, at-will employee."

But woe unto he who did not give them 2 weeks notice.

Becasue these are 18 year old college kids who quit jobs at MCDs every day without giving notice.  They are NOT 50 year olds or whatever who have a company depending on them.  They are not in the "professional" world yet.

What? An 18-year-old kid made a knee-jerk reaction by asking to get out of his LOI because of a change to what is possibly a major factor in his decision in coming to Ohio? I would of never have guessed.  

I mean come on, they're LEGALLY an adult, so that means they all know exactly what's the best for them, and they should just turn the switch (like I'm sure we all did senior year in high school) and make the undoubtedly best-level headed decisions that are definitely not derived from emotion or any other external influences.

I gave my boss 4 weeks notice when I left the convenience store I worked at in high school. Perhaps its not a "professional" job, but isn't that where high school students are supposed to learn professionalism in the work force?

How I choose to live my life:

18 y/o: quit my job at McDonald's as fry cook. Don't tell my boss until I walk out at 3 A.M. YOLO

49 y/o: While making 425k a year, I choose to not take out a car loan when buying a car. I am such a rebel.

68 y/o: No social security left because the "professionals" who came before spent it all.

A friend from my days in Athens quit his job at McD's in Medina, Ohio, by telling his manager that he had intentionally left condiments off every hamburger he had cooked for the preceding hour.  All hell broke loose.

This is how the NCAA and McDonald's are similar. No, not a big MAC joke.

Millions of dollars are placed in the trust of 18-year-old kids.

Which is funny, because he actually should have been promoted. Maybe everyone doesn't like mustard or onions on their burger. Whose idea was that anyway?

And here I thought student athletes were FULL TIME students and NOT full time employees who would normally give two weeks notice.  Unless of course they go to a private school in Illinois.  There, they may unionize and, next step, ask for a paycheck.

I seriously doubt that many part time 18 year old employees give two weeks notice for leaving a job or anything nowdays.  In fact, I was just in a Subway this morning talking to the manager who said she lost three young employees in the last month.  Each just walked in one day and said they were doneafter the day.  Actually, she said one tried to tell her the next day (a Friday) would be his last.  She told him to go home that day, haha!  Such is life when dealing with kids at a fast food joint

As we approach the formal introduction of our new coach, let's put this thread and its sister thread on the recruiting section 1. back on track and 2. to bed.

No one wants TO here if he doesn't want to be.
No one is going to hold him to the LOI - after he has discussed his intent with the new coach.
His camp/AAU coach has said he wants out.  He has not said anything himself.
He can, he will, and he should wait until he talks to our new coach before formally declaring (which I suspect he appreciates). 
Our new coach deserves that opportunity (to talk to TO) and the student athlete owes that small request/demand from the school he originally signed with.
If after that meeting he wants out, he will be let go.
NO ONE is upset that the LOI has not been immediately torn up except, a few posters on this board (all of whom have no skin in the game, just their opinions on what they feel is right or wrong), and, apparently, his AAU coach - who can stick it as far as I'm concerned.

So let's see what coach says after he has spoken to TO.  And let's see what TO says at that point as well.  Everyone else are just bystanders.
