No specific non-compete.
Yes. complete farce. Would laugh about it if were an outsider. But working here it just make me angry.
Cost?? It is just a corrupt system! Where Morons will always look after their fellow morons. Look around you and see how many useless managers / directors / lead and “know-nothing” employees (not every buddy) still around. Stupid minds understand each other stupid ideas, a Total wast of space and money!
We be laying off the best cause they cost more. We only care costs, not our futur
This company laid off the best technical guys (not sure what is the strategy) - may be Stupid management!
On the bright side, Now the company have a more homogeneous low IQ across the board which is can help get the stupid things/ideas done. Most of the “real” work are done by contractors anyway.
en guard (sic), drones!
A company best practice is hiring top-notch candidates and training them rigorously. Unfortunately, we then discourage and de-motivate them with our bureaucracy. Many of the best competent ones quit, leaving the greatest brown nosers to go into management and “lead” us.
The company never goes after employees unless you visibly steal something or sign a project-specific NDA (and you then use this specific knowledge with a competitor). That said, a hi-pot manager and his hi-pot girlfriend were fired two years back, knew they were going to be fired, downloaded and took proprietary company software, and we never went after them, but we did change our IT software to better monitor/track activities.
No - but they will come after you if you share trade secrets or technology.
