[citation][nom]omega21xx[/nom]Was he supposed to just wait a year without a job? To me it's kind of ridiculous, i wouldn't want to chose to work at some random place that can't utilize my talents just so i can avoid running out of money while i wait to get back to a place that can and i enjoy working at.[/citation]
non competes are a standard for high ranking positions, and for people when a company puts money into you, like training you need tech schooling for, and they pay you to work...
you can still get a job, however you cant use the skills that they gave you, or in the case of a company, the things you know because of them... like company secrets and such.
[citation][nom]TheCuriousLlama[/nom]@omega21xx Yeah, those CEOs making $500k+ must have a terrible time suffering through their non-compete agreement's imposed unemployment.Forgive me for lacking sympathy.And he signed the damned thing, and then violated it. Time for him to pay up.[/citation]
you know i kind of agree... if this was just a case of him quitting and getting a better job... but it seams like they refused to listen to him, he got sick of it, and 7 months later was offered a new job that apreaciates him... i dont think its as simple as what the contract says...
