Would leaving a job for three months cause an employee to lose the job? (See explanation below)?

follow the dream. A job can be got at any time anywhere but to fufil a dream u must grab it when u see a chance- good luck with the show

Subcontractors can always make new contracts. I'd do it if I where him. There is usually a slow season for contractors hopefully the three months will be in that time frame.

Don't hold him back! If this is a dream of his, support him and hopefully he'll win. He'll be lots happier if he makes the cut and has plenty of time left in life to go back to subcontractor.

Ask for a leave of absence from the company.

If that's not possible, weigh the opportunity against the stability.

I would have to go with the reality show. A once in a lifetime opportunity.

If I had a chance to follow my dream I would go for it no matter what, besides this could open more and possibly better doors for him

Life is full of risks and full of give and take. To chase his dream, he may have to risk sacrificing some of the things he has now.

He should go for it. He can always build his business back after the show is over. He'll regret it the rest of his life if he doesn't, and will always wonder "what if...?"

Follow my dream.

yes without prior notice and agreement from emplyeer
