Yeah, I "might or might not have been" involved in something like this and I can tell you companies get down right ugly about this. When the potential to lose clients is involved companies can go for the jugular.You know, I'm not clear if he worked FOR the company or if he was PART of the company. But yeah, I'm sure there's ways around it. I've never worked for a corporate company but I've witnessed many companies, including ones that have owned the plant my husband works for skirt those pesky contract clauses. Not that Randall is the type to get dirty like that.
