It can very easily be illegal because most employment contracts I've seen include language that heads off this type of action.

- Etheryte 2y agoThat makes it a breach of contract, not illegal.
- codedokode 2y agoMaking a contract with intent to defraud someone is not legal (i.e. pretending that you are going to work full time while knowing you are not going to do it).
- confidantlake 2y agoIs pretending you are going to do good work but you know you are incompetent also fraud? How about the company pretending it is a good place to work but they know it actually sucks to work there? Just throwing the word fraud around at things you don't like is meaningless.
- aeonik 2y agoBoth of these things would technically be fraud I would think. Definitely hard to prosecute due to subjectivity though.
- filoleg 2y agoViolating an employment contract is not a criminal issue, it is a civil issue at best. The most they can realistically do to you for violating that section is just firing you. I don’t see them trying to collect the “damages” in the civil court.
