What is the name of your state? Texas
Can an employer make someone sign a no compete when they resign. I didnt sign one when I was hired. No severance package has been offered. I gave two weeks notice and the response has been "ok, well, best of luck to ya..." No attempts on their part to work out any issues I may have with management have been made. But when the owner heard I planned on starting my own company which might provide some of the same services I have been performing on his behalf for the past three years, he called me into his office to tell me good luck and he wants "something in writing" saying I wont call on his customers and he will "get something drafted up". Does this sound rediculous to anyone else? I think he plans on trying to withhold my final paycheck tomorrow until I sign a contract stating a I wont do a better job working for myself than I did for him.
