In today’s story, an employee shared a complicated journey of leaving a long-time job. After six years at a small, privately owned business, OP received a better job offer from another company.
Despite the new role not being a direct competitor, OP was bound by a non-compete agreement. Seeking a release from this contract, OP spoke to his boss, who refused and then fired him the next day! What did OP do next? He sued his ex-boss.
2. After working at this company for 6 years with a non-compete agreement signed, OP found a better-paying job that he really wanted to move for.
3. It wasn’t a direct competitor, and it checked all the boxes, so OP decided to proceed with the opportunity.
4. OP talked to his boss about the job offer and asked if he could sign a release from his non-complete.
5. The boss refused and fired OP instead. This firing concerned the other company as well, and they withdrew their offer. This left OP with no job and a lot of worry.
They don’t have a heart. Bad bosses do not have a heart! All they care about is their profits and how to build their own asset. Their workers don’t matter to them. OP must be feeling so terrible. The boss fired him and ate his opportunity to grow at the same time! Employees are the foundation every company builds upon. But the top management doesn’t understand that. Their ego makes them believe they are the ones doing it all. If you can’t respect them, you can’t respect your company. It is bound to fall.
This will not go down well for the boss as it never does for bad bosses. Let’s see what happens next. Scroll down to continue reading!
