That's why non-compete clauses are popular. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 12 points 10 months ago (2 children) No. The idea is to stop people from acccepting a better deal to go work for a competitor. Non-competes applying when being fired or when your company gets shuttered, would leave the employees literally unable to work in their field no matter how their employment ended. Even if that were how these contracts worked, good luck to ubisoft enforcing a non-compete for employees that worked for a legal entity that no longer exists. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 2 points 10 months ago Non-competes often have a time period after employment, like one year or such. permalink fedilink source parent [–] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago Always depends on the lawyers they can afford permalink fedilink source parent
