Compared to where else?

Working for national businesses and franchises are the same here as most anywhere else.  Subway is Subway.   They follow rules laid down by OSHA, EPA and other Fed regulatory agencies.   Like Hobby Town, owners sometimes have defend their Constitutional freedoms in front of the SCOTUS. 

Working for local businesses that employ less than 25 (50?) people is a different matter.  Nebraska workers compensation laws require all employers to carry occupational injury insurance policies in order to ensure timely payments to injured workers as and when needed. 

If employee is fired: next scheduled payday or within two weeks, whichever is earlier.
If employee quits: next payday or within two weeks, whichever is earlier. (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 48-1230.)

The time has long since passed when two people could negotiate mutually agreeable terms and shake hands two seal the agreement.  Why?  Because most people today do not have a common ethical base which controls their behavior.  Ergo, everything has to be in writing and signed, sometimes in front of witnesses.

Mntnman:
My wife recently had to change hours to a 24/7 shift at work, the type of shift to run 7 days a week isteak of 5 plus over time if needed. Well, they are so slow that they don't want to hire anyone and the night shifts don't have enough people to run. They decided to make some days people move to nights based on seniority, not performance like her job group is supposed to do. She is the best worker in department, by far. She got the call to go to noghts or it is considered quitting. Should she say no or go, then get fired?

We discussed this last night because the rumor was going around and decided her working nights is not going to work for our family. If she tells them no today, they consider that her two week notice. I was wondering if there might be any advantage to telling them yes, then making them fire her within a couple weeks.

Mntnman:
Talking to her coach about if she says no is really making the lady nervous. When she had to switch sifts, they all fought to get her on their shift. She would love the satisfaction of telling them no, she isn't going to do it. It is pretty hard to get confirmation that being the one person that gives a damn doesn't matter. This has happened to her before based on senority and not performance but she is not the type of person that can half-ass anything.
