Stolen valor
Post by Jonny Canuck »
The person in question is my boss, I plan on quitting tomorrow to work for a competitor.
Life is to short to work for someone that you don't trust.

I have requested no further action from pow network and navy seal experience. I know that once I give them the go ahead, they proceed with their protocol.
I highly recommend both groups if anyone else is in a similar situation.

I see a guy around town that wears a Bulls jersey and I KNOW, deep in my heart, he has never played for the team. I'm going over old rosters from ESPN and have PMd a guy I know online to help out this insane bastard.Jonny Canuck wrote:Any ideas as to how I can out a fake navy seal?

Something you have on your side is "discovery" where you can query your former employer about all kinds of things under oath - including his alleged SEAL history. One would presume that he won't want that embarrassment as part of any court records.Jonny Canuck wrote:State of jurisdiction is Illinois and employers have lost 4 big cases at the appellate level over the past couple of years. I'm not to concerned at this point. The firm representing my former employer doesn't even have a labor or employment lawyer on staff. I think they are posturing.
A word to the wise, these things can take some unexpected and very expensive turns even when you are 100% right and prevail. I'm not a lawyer, just the voice of experience.

Other than in a few states, non-competes are reasonably easy to enforce so long as they are not for longer than, say, two years; don't cover a territory wider than the true competitive area; and the prohibited activity is what you did in your previous employment. You can defend against them, you can make it expensive, you can find leverage in different ways, but those are tough battles you'll need to fight if the employer comes after you.syaigh wrote:Well, I consulted with a big shot attourney (friend of one of my clients) when my asshole gym owner threatened to sue me for non-compete. The attourney (who I would have normally had to pay a shitload of money to) told me that non-competes are VERY hard to actually enforce. And to do so, the complainant would have to drop the cost of securing an attourney, which is usually around 25,000.

You could be on the side of the angels, but you have no idea what the outcome will be. Avoid the fight if possible.
My two cents.

In CA and Washington State they can keep your from calling on or dealing with former customers & assigned territories for a period of 1-2 years. Non customers or territories are up for grabs.
I would suggest that you see if your new company will help you out in the legal department. Most non compete "Cease and Desist" letters are nothing more than (1) a reminder to abide by the terms of your non compete or (2) trying to get you out of an account you shouldn't be in anyways. However, some companies like fucking with former employees. I once had an employer try fucking with me over an non compete. My new employer stepped in and assigned my one of their in house attorney's. Once my old employer saw that an future games or litigation wasn't going to cast me anything they dropped the matter and left me a lone.
I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
