'conflict of interests'? I am working at both Aeropostale and Forever 21. Forever 21 didn't mind my other job, but Aeropostale said that working for any other clothing retailer is a "conflict of interests" and I had to quit one or the other.

Aside from the fact that I desperately need both jobs, I think it's horrible to quit without working out your schedule (three days at Aero, two weeks at Forever).

My question is, if I lie to Aero and say I quit Forever, is it possible for Aero to find out?

unless you are in the management level, i don't see why this is a conflict of interest. anyway, if you need both jobs, i say keep them both. lie to aero if you have to. but wait, are the 2 stores in the same mall?

maybe some of your co-workers would tell on you. not good. very risky.

but if the 2 stores are not in the same location, yeah go for it. keep both jobs!

My advice... lying to an employer is NEVER good. As for a conflict of interest, i don't think they'd be on solid grounds to dismiss you, due to the fact that aeropostal is namely a clothing store whereas i would consider forever to be more of an accessory store. And conflict of interest generally should only be imposed on manager+ people. I mean burger king wouldn't fire you for working at mcdonalds too... unless you were a manager at both maybe.

As for your question... no they cannot ethically check for multiple employment as long as you do not lie on a formal document you are fine.
