Pretty common in that line of work to have an actual contract, including non-compete provisions.Azubuike24;1326577 wrote:Was it something he agreed to before the firing? I'd think it would be terminated along with his employment, unless he signed it prior.
Would it be something included in his contract with the station or a separate agreement? I'd understand it if you were leaving on your own accord, but given that the flagship station decided to terminate him, not even the affiliate, he'd have the option to go elsewhere. Who knows. Not sure why I even care but found it interesting that he was hampered from getting a full-time gig elsewhere in Ohio.queencitybuckeye;1326586 wrote:Pretty common in that line of work to have an actual contract, including non-compete provisions.
Non-competes tend not to depend on whether someone quits or is terminated. If it worked that way, one could line up a job with a competitor and then perform at a level to get themselves canned.Azubuike24;1327797 wrote:Would it be something included in his contract with the station or a separate agreement?
