My son has been going to school for the last 2 years to get his Associates Degree in welding. One of the best manufacturing companies in the area held a hiring event about 6 weeks ago. Since he was in his last quarter of school (1 welding class and 1 English class), he applied and accepted a job. He told them that some of his classes were going to continue after his start date. His welding class was Tuesday and Thurs evenings. And wouldn't matter because he had to go through training course with the company for 3 weeks. That training was from 7am -3pm. But, he told them that his English class runs Monday evenings until November 18th. They stated that it was okay and they could work around it. Fast forward to today and his manager is telling him that he starts his normal shift (3pm-11pm) next Monday. My son told him that he disclosed that he had school on Monday evenings. But, his boss said they need him there.
He now has to choose. Get HR involved and possibly start off on the wrong foot with his new boss. Miss the rest of his English classes and not receive his Associates Degree that he's worked for the past two years. Why companies act like degrees are important for hiring, but they put obstacles in the way for people trying to earn them?
