can they sack me?

can they cut my hours or what some people say they will make us all redundant please tell me

Answer 1

You're okay. Don't always assume that you're in trouble because they're Arabs. If you do see suspicious activity with anyone, call the police.

Answer 2

Tell the cops they are terrorist

Answer 3

look nowadays buisnessmen can get you in little corners with some weird law or contract you never even knew exsited. If i were you i'd have a backup plan start looking into other job offers. if you do keep ur job then your safe but in the sad case that you dont you'll have another job waiting for you. plus your young and people are always looking for young go-getters

Answer 4

The new owners can do whatever they want. I hope you get to keep your job, but no guarantees...sorry.

Good Luck.

Answer 5

Sounds like it's a wait and see situation.  If you are a good employee I don't know why the new owners wouldn't want to keep you on.  Just because they are or might be Arab shouldn't make you panic anymore than with any other new owner whatever their ethnicity etc.  I wish you luck.

Answer 6

You're 15 years old, so I wouldn't even care.  You will find  a new one. Stay in school.

Answer 7

Leave And Finish School First So You Can Get A Better And Safer Job With A College Degree Or More Business Experience! That Is Better For You At This Age!

Answer 8

it is hard to say yes they could let you go or reduce your hours. you will have to see when they are your bosses. sorry that i couldn't tell you what you wanted to hear.  

Answer 9

They can do whatever they want. It's their business now. But as long as you do your work they probably won't.

It really doesn't matter if they're Arab or not unless they're racist against your race like you seem to be against theirs.
