Yeah so give them a contract with a minimum period and a penalty clause if you leave early.

Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 months agoIt makes some sense that if someone is going to invest time and money into training you to help them, they would not want you to immediately turn around and compete with them. So in that regard I understand it. But they’re usually abusive contracts that last way too long, far beyond what is reasonable, and cover many activities outside of direct competition such as stating that you can’t even accept another job in the same industry.

A lot of abuses and anti-competitive practices make sense. It makes sense to buy your competitors, and pay off regulators. “Smart business” is almost always an attempt to leverage factors outside of normal competition. You don’t win at capitalism by playing fair.
