I’m pretty sure that is a violation of the Constitution.

Have they ever heard of the “Emancipation Proclamation”?

Seems to be in conflict with Amendment 13.
Not that that matters anymore.

Take the money. Leave. Dont look back. It can always be reasonably inconvenient to help. Reasonably is a subjective term and cant be proven.
Bye.

This is the bankers equivalent of pi$$ing off your waitress or chef. A big no no.

I see the point of the bank but I don't agree with it. Likely there is a lot of proprietary software constructed for this bank and not documented very well. I'm guessing they want to be able to ask what was going on when so and so wrote this or why is this section in here etc. etc. or maybe they're going to migrate to different software and need help.
But tough toodles for them. I would have took that severance agreement straight to a lawyer.

If I had any money with this company I would move it somewhere else. This is basically slavery.

In a move to well, let’s say “take advantage” of their former employees, to make a few more dollars, this bank might just end up losing a huge lawsuit over this.
Big time.
I sure hope so. I have no sympathy for this nonsense.
Bring back American jobs.
To: DuncanWaring
The guest worker part, the severance contract obligations, or both? It seems like there is a gravitation towards lowered freedom in both.

he did the 500 percent thing to expose the hypocrisy of the left regarding Hispanics.
if they want foreigners so bad, he said, how about millions from Asian countries?
It was a statement. and a good one.
he didn’t know the left would twist it in the papers and even conservatives who dont follow things would be believe it,

I would tell them where to stick their severance package.

Yep. When they call, tell them you have another job and don’t have the time.

1. The idiot bank doesn’t seem to know the meaning of the word severance; a severance which they have executed.
2. If they thought about it for more than 5 seconds, the idiot bank might realize it’s probably a bad idea to try and force work out of a terminated employee without compensation; especially when that work involves giving the employee access to the computer systems.
3. The idiot bank also didn’t consider the tremendous bad PR this sort of move generates,

The article is silent about the terms of the severance. They are only telling us the consulting requirement. What is the severance package? If that package is worthless, then it would be easy to walk away from the whole deal. If the severance package is considerable, then they will be paid, in effect, for their consulting services.
