My husband is the manager of a bank branch... he's also taking online classes. He wants to move to a real college and since we live in the same town as a major accredited University he wants to go there. His supervisor heard about this and said if he transfered he would have to step down from his position. Why should he have to sacrifice his job for a better education? Online school is ok, but this university is right here and we think it would look better on a resume than an online school.Is this ok? For the company to MAKE him give up his job for school? He's already taking a large amount of courses and its not interfering with his performance at work, what difference does it make if he transfers?they have night classes and it wouldn't interfere with his schedule
 
Unless the local college offers all their classes in the evening, your husband will need to take classes during the day which will affect his work hours. Your husband would need to cut back his hours, and it is quite likely that the job description of a bank manager requires full-time hours.
 
I wouldn't think so, that is a personal decision outside of work and his boss has nothing to do with it. If it will affect his work schedule and/or performance than they can tell him to step down but they shouldn't do that if they do not have a legitimate reason. Sounds more like the boss is being paranoid, thinking that he wouldn't be able to go to a university and work at the same time.
 
Technically, what your husband does in his own personal time is his business, and the company has no say over it. However, If your husband is the branch manager, and he makes a commitment to be somewhere else at certain days and times, he is making himself unavailable to perform the duties that he is being paid to do. Its perfectly reasonable for a company to expect the branch manager to be available to be on site at any time of any day when there is a need.
 
most major accredited universities I know offer evening classes and full programs for those who work... your husband should ask his superviser why he would need to step down should he switch colleges as long as it doesn't interfere with work, and then if his manager gives any reason at all or even no reason, then your husband should flat out say, "I'll take this matter to my lawyer and see what they say about it"
 
If he's not taking time off from work to attend school, then it's none of his manager's business where he's going to classes. He should go to whatever school he wants to go to, and not ever mention it at work.
 
if its a like good job and you guys are loaded he should stay with his job because then fuck education but if its just like an average job or like something that he doesnt plan on doing for more than a few years he should take the education
 
I have never heard of such a thing. It sounds as if this person feels if he obtains his degree from an accredited institution h
 
It sounds to me like his supervisor is afraid of being replaced. Tell his his supervisor he has decided not to move to the college, but do it any way. This a common situation in the corporate area. Hold everyone down so you can't be replaced.
