What is the name of your state?NC
I recently quit a job with a company in my area, and went to work with a competitor. I gave two weeks notice, stayed 3 weeks at the request of the company, to see if things worked out. They did not. So I left. My ex employer is now threatening a lawsuit against both myself and the company I am working for. They are upset because several of my customers, all of which I brought with me to the old company, are now buying from me at the new company. They are also discussing this with customers and vendors. I understand they are upset, but my question is on what grounds could they sue me. With the exception of quitting, I played by the rules. Very few people knew I was even considering a change, and I did not actively recruit my customer base before I left. Any suggestions? I believe that they are going to say I caused them financial hardship by through lost revenue. I was their top salesperson in the area.
