I'm a Trader Get me out of this contract!

[mcdoma]

Sahil - this firm probably starts with an M or a S? I know two who have left M and they have had no problems.

 

[Sahil]

G!

You could always join the Foreign Legion m8.

Sahil,
you're an employee. You have a contract of employment. In this contract of employment, in exchange for their paying you, you have to give them notice of your intention to quit. Which you are now trying to renege on? Either resign, and see how long they keep you for, and honour your contract. As they used to say on Stock Exchange " Dictum, mayum pactum" Brutal, but then so is the real world....

 

[Sahil]

I am more than willing to give reasonable notice - no intention of just running, but according to contract I can't leave until end of contract!

The contract is highly unfair and relevant compensation is well below market average. If I do leave any earlier, I am liable to substantial and unaffordable penalities based on my profitability. I'm just stuck with no realistic options.

fyi

Penalty clauses are generally unenforceable as are excessive restraints of trade.

Get thyself a decent lawyer and be gone with them.

Twalker:

'Never trust a man with the initials JR'

IS this a joke, or a reference to a US guru/coach??

 

[TheBramble]

I think twalker may be referring to JR of JR Ewing (Dallas) fame.

 

[TWI]

I think those that know him will not have to ask questions.

 

[TheBramble]

That's rather Zen...thanks.

Just off to contemplate my navel.

[Sahil]

I think they're trying to confuse me further!

 

[herbie14]

[Sahil]
