But then she’d have a fool for a boss.
I don’t know why these people who complain about their employer being the worst organization in the world to work for/at, aren’t happy to be leaving for a better job. It’s like Woody Allen’s joke about the diner complaining about how terrible the food is at that restaurant — “and such small portions.”
That’s the whole thing about freedom and choice in a society — one is free to get into a better deal and arrangement. Leave the bad employers for those just starting out and don’t know any better.
Nobody is “entitled” to Heaven of Earth just by demanding it — or having somebody promise it to them before the election, and then once that is over, doing the same old things as the “Change” they promised.
Some people are just meant to be used and abused all their lives because they think that is all they deserve.
Unless there is a "no compete" agreement in place and the former employer chooses to enforce it. My wife, referenced on my previous post on this thread, was laid off from her job as a data analyst when her firm closed its local office, which was grossly mismanaged and quite dysfunctional because of a poor selection of an office manager by corproate headquarters.
In her notification letter, her employer told her that even though she was being laid off, they were going to hold her to her no compete agreement and that she could not find new employment with any of the company's competitors or clients. Needless to say, this left her without any options, other than break the agreement and risk a lawsuit, or go into business for herself in another career field. She did the latter, but we took a big hit on our income because of it.
I keep that letter on file, and every time I read it, I get pissed off all over again.
