I've been told I am required to tell my soon-to-be former employer who I'll be working for next. Is that enforceable?

Re: Former employers
Thu, September 24, 2009 - 1:19 PMI am in HR and unless you have a no compete clause from your soon to be former employer there is nothing that states you need to tell them by law where you are going unless it violates a contract or a no compete you have with them. -

Re: Former employers
Thu, September 24, 2009 - 3:16 PMAh yes, the no-compete clause. That must be it. Thanks! -

Thu, September 24, 2009 - 5:45 PMThose don't usually hold up in court but companies do use those to protect their assets!! -

Re: Former employers
Fri, September 25, 2009 - 11:45 PMI would not tell them, and force them to take me to court to make me tell. Maryland is an "at-will" state. I would take the attitude that my will is that I chose to leave the former employer. If faced with a subpoena, I would present a copy of it to the local TV stations and newspapers, and I would hire an attorney. Let the former employer fight off the negative publicity. -

Re: Former employers
Sat, October 3, 2009 - 11:45 AM...I drifted away from a right-to-not-work state a decade ago-since then I have a rep. for working simultaneously with several non-profits..and aim to maintain both that schedule, and professional persona of running on a larger 'mission'. Whether or not I am doing so, employers now look at me like a contractor..and the focus of what I do, that way.

Re: Former employers
Sat, October 31, 2009 - 7:39 PMBrice opined" "Those [non-compete agreements] don't usually hold up in court but companies do use those to protect their assets!!
--this advice is more likely to be accurate if we are talking about the entry level and low level flunkie type positions for which Bruce does the recruitng for the low stakes and unimportant Party Barn. But if we are talking about managerial, professional and executive class positions with companies that have valuable intellectual property assets, trade secrets and other proprietary information, you better consult with a lawyer, because those non-competes may very well be enforceable and you can lose your ass for violating them.
I am going to assume you have something to lose and something on the ball and are not some entry level flunkie schmuck. Assuming that, next time you have a legal problem of this kind, consult a lawyer instead of yahoos who are desperate to give you their worthless free advice. Instead of being a cheap ass and seeking your legal advice for free from idiots with severe psychological problems. -

Not that there's anything wrong with being an entry level employee or one that hires them. In general. People that work in fast food restaurants have more dignity than a lot of people that are further up the ladder. They should be paid starting at 15 an hour. At least 12. Have it your way? My way is to pay these people more money. And pay a lot of other people more money too. Rich people should be taxed 5% and that 5% should go to everyone else that goes to work every day. Then hard working people could maybe afford rent, bills and everything else. As opposed to being subjugated to indentured servitude for life. Being a slave to the Holy Dollar till they / we die miserably in debt.
NO MORE CREDIT CARDS BITCHES!!! HELLO!!! -

Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 4:55 AMMy scorn in the previous post was not for the entry level worker.
My scorn was for Bruce for offering his vapid, moronic, unqualified legal advice on the subject of the enforcing non-compete agreements.
There is no easy answer to the question of whether a non-compete is enforceable. You have to know which state or country's laws apply, you have to know the law, you have to know the circumstances under which the person signed the agreement, and you have to read the damned agreement.
Did Bruce know any of that before he prattled on like an idiot to declare that they're usually not enforceable? Hell no.
Just as many of the factual statements made by Bruce are false, so too, many of his opinions are complete bullshit.
While we are on the subject, Bruce has no place in a privacy tribe, being on of the biggest violators of people's privacy rights of any person on tribe.net. -

Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 5:18 PMYou'd think he knows it all. I saw a post on the main page from someone today and it was on a tribe he moderates. Tribe Improvement Plan ( TIP )? tribes.tribe.net/oneheart - I got a tip. Enforcing the permanent ban of him that was originally issued. Till he threatened legal action I think. Tribe should have a disclaimer like bars. We have the right to refuse service to anyone. Especially evil fucked up people that pretend theyre not.
Funny he would be the moderator of such a tribe. Yet not surprising at all. He and some friends of his used to always be talking about suing people. Suing me. Blah blah blah. Talking about having my wages garnished. Etc..... He's a very bad person that poses as a good guy. Truly fucked up. With me, what you see is what you get. 100% complete honesty. No lies, deception, pretension, etc....... FUCK BRUCE and his fucking mother and everyone that's friends with him. Whether they see the real him or not. I cant believe he has the gaul to even speak of character assassination in public. Bitch ass prick mother fucker. His face is good for one thing. FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!! -

Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 6:08 PMThat Bruce is one of the most "popular" people on tribe and moderates one of the most "popular" tribes makes a lot of sense in the context of tribe being one of the hugest failures in the history of social networking websites.
Tribe.net can't even keep it's goddamned servers running.
It is the realm of the loser, and within the realm of the loser, Bruce Clifford is right at home in his speciallly constructed extra hefty Lazy Boy recliner.
But seriously, if you are looking to Bruce Clifford for legal advice, you are in for a world of failure. The guy has an associate's degree from a podunk business college and is an HR flunkie. He's an idiot and a pathological liar, plus an internet stalker.

Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 6:41 PMI can't believe he's only 46. Only 5 years older than me. He seems so much older. Or that he is actually responsible for supervising other humans as an HR manager. Pretty rediculous. -
-
Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 6:56 PMHe's not an HR manager.
He's a recruiter.
Huge difference.
A good HR manager is a huge asset to any company. I can tell you that from my days as general counsel. I would know, wouldn't I?
Recruiters? Big deal. All they do is read resumes and do the initial screening. A trained monkey could do their job.
As for Bruce's appearance, he's got a bad set of genes to start with. Look at his face. Jesus Christ. Goddamned throwback to the apes.
Plus obesity will make anyone look bad. -

Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 7:39 PMWell. To think some people may or may not get a job based on his opinion is kind of obscene too. Sad and unfortunate. -

Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 7:42 PMIt's not exactly the end of the world to be passed over for a job at Party City.
Still, I certainly think the less of Party City for hiring him and letting him use their name to promote himself.
Also, his homophobic comments ( like calling tribe's Shatter by the name of "Gay Shitter") makes me wonder if he discriminates against gay people in the hiring process.

Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 7:53 PMBruce created an alt who went around claiming that Marvin owed him money and was a dead beat. Totally false.
The moderator of this tribe would recognize that is pure libel.
That is why Marvin does not like Bruce.
With good reason.
Anyone who likes Bruce is an asshole and will be denied passage on the mother ship. We don't take losers. -

Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 9:25 PMNelson was the alts name. The picture looked like some freaky serial killer. He joined many tribes I was on and kept on posting nonstop lies. This is a fact that the Tribe staff knows is true. But before that alt there were other things I didnt like him for. Like pretending to be my buddy. I actually started out considering him a true friend. Then he would make comments about certain women and it didnt take very long before the B picture became a lot clearer. Supposedly he caused a divorce. He was fucking with people in real life. I have no idea. I just know what my own experience with him was. And I dont doubt what those people were telling me or think they would lie about him. Then there was the fact that he had SEVEN alts that were all talking to each other like they were real people. One was some hot 19 year old that was driving down to see him in her badass Hummer. Like that's actually cool. The guy's a total sociopath. It's actually quite disturbing. And I havent spent any time looking at any tribes he's on or paying any attention to him for a long time. Occasionally I will state what I have stated here. I will unfriend people that are friends with him. I will continue to hold my view of him. It will not change. If he'd admit what he has done and apologize, which he surely never will, there was a time I would have forgave & forgot. It's way past that point now. There are few people in this world that I truly hate and despise and wish ill will upon. But honestly, if I saw something horrible had happened to him on the news or something? I'm not sure if I'd actually be glad. But I most certainly wouldnt have a spec of sympathy. He deserves to be as miserable as he is. People can pretend all is great in their world. Reality is an entirely different thing. It's REAL!!! There actually IS ultimate truth that is NOT subjective.
BOINK!!! -

Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 9:50 PMI am in no way making up what I have posted. I think he's a truly sick & demented individual. He can say whatever he wants about me. I know what I'm saying is true. I have unfriended several people because theyre friends with him. Some people think that's immature. They can think whatever they want. Tribe staff permanently booted him from Tribe. Somehow he was allowed to come back. I personally think he did threaten them with some legal action that scared them. Like even if he couldnt win in court it isnt worth their time, effort and money to deal with it. So they just allow him back on. I'm not exactly sure what that's about. It's probably not something I'd want to know. Like I'm a bit curious. But no. Or maybe yes. lol Who fuckin' knows?

Re: Former employers
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 10:07 PMI may have some friends that are friends with him. I'm not sure. I havent launched a full scale friend deletion. lol I have unfriended several people because he and a couple other people are on their friends list. Sometimes I let the person know if they care enough to ask. And honestly I would not allow him on any tribe I moderate. I have unjoined tribes he is on. Like the All Nighters. I cannot stand being in his presence. I stay on the LOST tribe that he is on because I will be damned if he ruins that one for me. : ) A Tribe staff member told me that he was told not to interact with me on here as a condition of being able to be on Tribe. I have to assume it's true. He's never said a word to me since. Noone from Tribe told me I had to comply with the same rule regarding him. Honestly I have tried to avoid talking about him and dont visit tribes he's on. I dont pay attention to him. But occasionally I cannot and will not hold my tongue on this matter. -

Re: Former employers
Mon, November 2, 2009 - 9:57 AMSo it's been a while since I have seen the infamous 'bruce' in a tribe..or at least been able to identify him. At first I thought that people were being rather aggressive and cruel.... but then I realized it is one of those InternetKarma scenarios [though I still think its a bit cruel]. Hopefully one day, Bruce will see the folly of his ways. But for now, it is a great opportunity to see how we react to the dysfunction to others. -

Re: Former employers
Mon, November 2, 2009 - 3:01 PMI believe the man is totally unrepentant, though he continues to maintain quite the PR campaign to convince people that he is a solid good guy whose only interests are to improve tribe.net. But this is no different that what he did in the past. He disarmed people with his goofiness and demeanor. Once he gained their trust and they began to see the other side of him, it was too late, he already knew too much about them.
Beware those who go to such great length to tell you what a wonderful person they are. Beware those who vouch for their own honesty.
It's a paradox. If an honest person tells you about himself, he has to tell you he's honest. But if a dishonest person tells you about himself, he also has to tell you he is honest. An intelligent honest person recognizes this paradox and thus doesn't even bother to make the claim. Be wary of those who do make the claim.
I make no effort to convince people I am a good guy on tribe. Obviously from my avatar, I'd just as soon you not think I am a good guy. I don't want your trust and I don't want you to reveal your confidences to me. Why? Because you shouldn't be doing that with strangers on the internet. But I don't blame the victims. I blame the perps. -

Re: Former employers
Mon, November 2, 2009 - 5:40 PMI looked at his friends list last night and think it's interesting how some of them are people that have been interacting with me on other tribes. It makes me wonder how many alts he has now. Pretty creepy. I have ONE tribe profile. I used to occasionally create one just to be silly or fuck with retarded Nazi holocaust denier scumbags like roger. As far as I know roger is Bruce. Multiple troll alts ruin tribe for many people. My just for fun alt only existed for two days and the mother fucker was crying like a little bitch. Pretending he was outraged by the alt and the things she said. Her name was CUNT. She was hella nasty. It was great fun. But that was two days of obvious trolling. That was nothing like the real trolling and harassment some others have, and continue, to perpetrate on not just individuals, but it affects many people in ways that they and the perp themselves may not even be aware of. And they are too base and compassionless to understand of care about the concept of butterly wings. Don't place faith in human beings. Their fascist fate will kill you. This is the fruit that the truly bad troll people have dumped upon others. They cause division, distrust, hate, etc.....

Re: Former employers
Mon, November 2, 2009 - 7:16 PMBruce is involved with a number of alts, including the most offensive UberSatan stalker alt.
Bruce makes lots of guest appearances on UberSatan's hate blog, and UberSatan makes guest appearances in Bruce's tribe.
While Bruce is utterly afraid to ever confront me directly, he sends UberSatan, Pimpy, and a number of other disreputable characters to spew vile insults at me and any of my friends.
They NEVER refute any of the facts we have presented about Bruce's dishonesty and wrongful conduct. Instead, they respond only with increasingly vile and hateful insults.
What kind of person employs advocates of that sort to defend him? -

Re: Former employers
