If u were in a job u hate....

If u were in a job u hate but an opportunity came up for a better job... U take the new job but in ur current job it's in ur contract u can't work for a competitor for a year after leaving.... new job is a competitor... well only a competitor on one product.... one out of many....

References u have given aren't from ur current job... new employers personally know references u have given... no one from new company know ppl from current job... I think current job won't find out... as long as i don't out it onto social media....

What wud u do?

If you signed a restrictive covenant with your current employer, it is binding.

@Snuffy1957 oh I'm taking the new job, just 2 weeks left to work my notice but trying hard not to let slip where I am going cos based on one product new company is a competitor & it's in my current contract I can't work for a competitor for a year after leaving... but I know others who have gone to competitors but I haven't heard of anything been done...

@BondGirl84 will you just need to keep it quiet and look out for your own self! Because nobody else is going to

I would obey my non compete to the letter. How water tight is it ?

@ButterRobot I know others who have gone to competitors but have more products in common than where I am going.... as far as I know employees have said nothing & just left...

It really depends on the wording. For what it’s worth though, In my experience it’s pretty hard for the employer to enforce.

@ButterRobot current employer did ask if I got new employment but I said no... unless they take to court if they find out but I see that unlikely as ppl from both companies don't know each other...
