If going for a promotion at a job when you have a second, is it normal for your interviewer/future boss to tell you that you have to quit your other job, effective immediately?
This is before having any sort of offer.
In the last four rounds of hiring for this position, they have not chosen a single candidate, so I don’t want to do what they ask, only to not have the spot or the extra income.

Do not quit. I would simply say if given the position that I would prioritize this position over the other. Schedule priority will be for this position. If you would like me to be exclusive with this company I would need pay to be sufficient to meet the needs that the second job offers in combination with my current role.

Yes, if you are going into management it is typically not negotiable. As a manager, you will be required to fill in the gap for call outs etc. you will need to be available during all business hours. You basically belong to them at that point. I have seen district managers insist on department managers coming in even with vertigo. Publix is a communist company that does not care about their managers. Associates get away with murder. But once you are in management, all bets are off. This is pretty typical of all other companies, too. I would say if it is a management position, the other job will have to go.

That’s a valid concern. I don’t think it’s normal to ask for you to quit, but it is normal for them to express concern about another job interfering with your managerial buries upon promotion. If they are going to to require me to quit my other job, I’d be sure that the pay is good enough and the opportunity is what I’m looking for as far as career progression.

If they acted like that on the floor, imagine how they will act in the office. Thats a huge red flag the size of Clifford the big red dog.....trust me, Ive worked for a manager like that before, it dosnt end well for anyone.

It’s a tactic that forces financial and psychological dependence, it does not improve chances of promotion it well, only lead to them knowing you have a more open schedule which will not increase your hours or pay, but will be brought up when they have needs, protect yourself keep the other job

I wouldn’t say it’s normal for them to tell you to quit at all!

And I definitely wouldn’t quit, seems weird!

Any job that requires you to quit before you are hired for another is liable for a law suit. You should never be told that you have to quit a position; nor, should you be forced out of a job without having a documented reason, which shows that you were not following the company’s rules and regulations. If a job/ company tries to force you to quit a position without having a written cause; you have the right to and responsibility to go to the company’s Human Resources Department; and, if they aren’t willing to show you the proper reason for why you are being terminated, you have the right to contact the Equal Employment office of the agency for your questions to be answered. Good luck in the future endeavor’s.
