Hi everyone, I am a current medical student. My partner is applying to medical school this admissions cycle and was accepted to a medical school. They have been working as an assistant at a super toxic clinic (run by a physician who is faculty at a different medical school) over the past two gap years and recently put in a one month notice to quit, although when they initially started the job they were supposed to work right up until their new school started.
Their job contract states: "The employment offer is for a one year commitment that includes a two month probationary period. Therefore, a total commitment of 14 months upon your start date. However, your end date will be contingent upon your start date for your medical school. Start Date: July 5th, 2023". There is nothing in the contract about quitting early.
They were pulled aside last week by the physician saying that they weren't allowed to quit, that they would face legal consequences if they did, and that she would call the dean of admissions (claiming she knows the dean personally) and tell her to rescind her offer. What should we do? Would she be able to be sued? Would this be something that would get her offer rescinded? They are trying to quit to spend time with their sick grandfather who is expected to pass away soon.
