When I worked for Corporate a few years ago, I was given stock every year as part of hitting our performance goals. And every year when I signed it, it automatically put me into a non-compete agreement for 18 months as well as the fine print that stated if I left, Cabela's reserved the right at their own discretion to take back the stock.
Well, I left and didn't hear a word about my stock so I thought everything was fine. Until I checked my account a few months later and realized they had taken every last share. First of all I'm frustrated they did that because I earned it, and also annoyed that I was never notified. What I don't understand is how they chose to take my stock back? Because I can tell you that when MC and BL got that let that they got to keep their stock, and were probably given more. I feel like they singled me out because I went to another company, and I guess legally they can do that. Just not sure if anyone else had this happen or if I do have any legal recourse.
