[TriLUG] OT Humor (at least to me)

[jason watts]

Sadly, this is the approach I am taking.  There is a lot more to my story, I 
am just trying not to take this thread to far off topic.

Because they company I was with was starting to branch out into the 
"security field" with firewall management, and I left for a security 
company, They said they have direct grounds to take me to court for damages 
to their company (I think he said court costs plus 600 a day for a year) 
because of a non compete that I don’t remember signing that he refused to 
provide me a copy of.  The fact that the owner of the company was previously 
a lawyer even adds to the fear of even trying.  He also said that the non 
compete stated I am not allowed to hold any job in Charlotte... which I 
think is a crock of !@$3.  But am not willing to push my luck on that cause 
I moved to an IT company instead of back to Harris Teeter.

As much as I would love to "stick it to the man" I am taking the safer route 
and not doing anything, (except word of mouth... and by word of mouth, I 
don’t mean via email)

Sorry for all the thread jacking that’s going on :p
