If it's in the contract, there's not much you can do about it. It can also say you can't work for similar companies in a certain radius of the original company, as well. So if these were in a contract I signed with a book store, there's a possibility I can't work for any other book store in a 200 mile radius for 10 years after I leave my current job. they're complete crap and only help benefit the companies. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/killer2001 You'll see...I'll still be Andy's favorite toy. >:) <cite>Zazabar posted [p:970645655] in U.S. Moves...

So your non-compete clause doesn't help you, but your coworkers non-complete clauses help you. This is all based on the idea that companies doing well means employees do well which is frequently not the case. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:970645698] in U.S. Moves...
