Somehow I doubt that these guys have the drive and sticktuitiveness to go after the OP in court. Seems that they're either too shy or too lazy to even talk to potential customers, much less fight you in court for another idea that they wouldn't follow through on anyway.
OP should probably take sensible precautions like saving all his e-mails (off of company machines!) and staying on friendly terms with other employees who might one day be called as witnesses. But I wouldn't recommend "ragequitting", just go politely.
- thrwawayaftruse 12y agoYup. I am not worried about being out-executed by them. Things would be a lot different if I respected their execution enough to be afraid of it :) I've been meticulous about saving emails and am on great terms with the other employees. As you recommend, I'm swallowing my bile and quitting politely, but firmly. Thanks for taking the time to comment. It's unanimous: I've been stupid and the only thing to do now is damage control and move on with life :)
- joeclark77 12y agoI don't think you've been stupid. You were patient and gave some of your time to support someone else. If nobody did that, or if we called people "stupid" for doing that, we'd be living in a pretty lousy world. In this case it didn't work out for you, but next time maybe it will. I hope you don't adapt to this experience by becoming a trust-no-one paranoid.
- thrwawayaftruse 12y agoHi Joe, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I understand what you mean. While I'm going to still be loyal until given reason not to, the main thing this experience has taught me is that you can't wait too long for other people to help themselves. Sometimes being loyal/being there is just enabling. I guess the art is in figuring out when you are supporting vs enabling :)
