I've never set foot in the place, and I never will. Because I prefer to spend my money at places of business with some semblance of integrity. 

Our son has been employed there for at least a year, and assistant manager for the past five months ( I think ). He recently found another job and gave his two week notice on Monday. Today he arrived for his shift only to be told he was terminated immediately because it wouldn't be productive for him to finish his remaining shifts or some such corporate BS. 

But that's alright, he's on his way to a better job with better opportunities. It's just too bad that the courtesy he showed them, by giving notice, couldn't be returned in kind. But I guess that's what you get in the McCorporate chain business world.

Honestly the only part that gets to me is that it counts as a “termination” meaning I’m not allowed to use the gym for the next 6 months. They wouldn’t even let me work out after having me drive up for my shift just to tell me to go home. Putting in my two weeks got me banned for the next 6 months…

report to the labor board for sure, sounds like a cut/dry retaliation perhaps even discrimination

aside from that, you better have my stuff clean and ready when i call for it @Matthew

More than likely pissed off whoever is above him and that's their little dig back at him. However now that technically they terminated his position he could go for unemployment if he so wished they may fight it but they had no reason to terminate him so it would just hold up the process that's the down side of NYS being a hire/fire at will state from an employer standpoint.

Now this is wrong if they have an employee manual and you have a copy look through it and see if it mentions anything about losing gym privileges.  (congratulations on the new job anyways)

I was thinking the same thing.

Grated, there's a "waiting week" so depending on when the new job starts, it may only be a partial week of benefits. But could still be worth the satisfaction.

Not worth the time or effort to. 

They did a shitty thing, he did the right thing. That's all that matters.

Completely understand but I would do it just to waste their time with the paperwork anything really to jam them up at this point.
