Always ask for a second and a thrid opinion

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

So I previously worked for an eCommerce company for over a year. They had all of us signed a contract saying that we cannot work in the eCommerce industry for a year even after a we resigned or got terminated from the company. Of course to me, this sounded shady. How in the world could they even think they they still have a hold on us even if we're not in the company anymore? Thankfully, there are sites for people seeking free law advise. We actually have a law in the Philippines countering that ridiculous clause in our contract. All three lawyers said basically the same thing that my former company had no right to stop us from earning a living especially if we are not in the company anymore. The relief it gave me was amazing. I can start my own eCommerce business if I wanted to without the worry that they may sue me because even if they did, they will not win against me.
