Serious question - How do the previous employers find out when an employee breaches a non-compete agreement? Is it usually word of mouth that makes it's way to HR/legal? or is it registered through someone's SSN? Because I know LinkedIn does a pretty good job at hiding from your current employer that you're looking for a job. What's to stop them from hiding your current employer to your previous employer?
- Gibbon1 8y agoI think usually because the employee opens his fat mouth is why.
- mcv 8y agoSounds like the legally smart thing to do is to lie when they ask you where you're going to work after you quit. Which sucks. It's not good to lie, and it's bad if legal circumstances effectively require you to lie, but I guess it may be necessary here. A couple of suggestions for things you can tell them: * you want to travel the world for a year and find yourself. * you're going to start your own company. Maybe even register at the chamber of commerce and give them your card in case they want to hire you. * you need to take care of a family member. * you're burned out by this work and are going to work in retail or something. * you've got the opportunity to turn your hobby into your work. * you're going to move out of state/out of the country. * it's none of their business. (Not a lie! But if they suck, it might make them suspicious and do some research.)
- Gibbon1 8y agoWhat you do depends on your boss and the corporate culture. Some bosses/companies are happy to see their employees go on to bigger better things and others react with narcissistic rage. If you work for the latter keeping your cards close to your chest at all times is best. You're not leaving for a new job, you're quitting. Also, lock down your credit reports too.
