job interview

[Kwacky]

He can swap the tank over on the zx6r

[Monty]

hes just thrown my contract at me and said it has a non compete clause stopping me going to a company in the same industry,.
fook me hes spitting feathers

Not worth the paper it's written on as you can prove it stops you from earning a living, plenty of precedence in the courts. Just tell him to grow up and then take the gardening leave.

Happy days, well done mate.

[Blade]

What a bellend.

As Monty says tell him to grow up and walk away from what sounds complete and utter hell.

[StMarks]

Shame that such good news had to be marred by that outburst.
I suspect that he realises that he is loosing a very valuable asset, and that not only is it down to his lack of ability to keep you contented, but your loss will reflect considerably in his future figures.
He was probably basically shocked & scared by the prospect, & his response shows his true colours. IMHO you should take it as confirmation that you've made the right decision.
Good luck mate, hope you enjoy your new role.

[Deegee]

As per other comments it proves what an numpty he really is, if he'd kept things right at work you wouldn't have gone looking, he's probably sh*tting himself as he'll have to answer why you've thrown in the towel after 20yrs to the MD or Directors.

Again as per others a non compete is unenforceable afaik, it comes under restrictive practices iirc (Kwacky?) and as pointed out prevents you earning a living, a good friend of mine had a QC acquaintance look at his before he jumped ship and set up on his own - in direct competition with his old company a few miles away, the QC said it wasn't worth the paper it was written on, so he went for it. He got a few bullying letters from his old Boss but paid for a Solicitors "Put up or Shut up" letter and has carried on to this very day in that business.

As others have said, you're better off out of there by the looks Perkles.

And as St Marks said its a measure of what you are worth that he's spinning off his axis.

Looking forward to hearing all the exciting goss from the new job, well the stuff you'd be allowed to talk about, I'm sure a fair amount of it is secret squirrel.

[Kwacky]

You've got a year to steal me an H2, piece by piece.

[Rossgo]

At the end of the day surely your allowed to work for whoever and as whatever you like a company can't stop that. Just forget about the old and think of the new now. Enjoy being able to move on to what you want to do, at the end of the day you clearly deserve it fella

[Blade]
