    its wrongfull, bit unfair, but its something a felon has to deal with on a daily basis in this job market.
    the saying "dont do the crime, if you cant do the time" is an old saying before they had computers that never forgive, or forgit. the new saying should be.."Dont do the crime, because the time is a life sentence of never getting a real job and supporting yourself or family again."

    You can't accept something knowingly and then turn around sometime later and not accept it on a whim. The only out for the employer would be if the nature of the job changed (and it was outside of the company's control), making the prior felony conviction a problem. For example, they are bidding on a government contract and the contract specifies that no one with a felony conviction can be working on the project. The company would still have to make a good faith effort to find other work for the employee.
