Friday is my last day with my current company. Can't afford the water bill anymore. Every time I deal with the SVP in our group I feel like I need to take a shower.
Example: When I resigned he asked me where I was going. I refused to say other than to say that it was to a competitor. He later came to me with a list of companies stating that if it was any on that list we have a problem due to non-poaching arrangements in our contracts. He was going to attempt to block me from leaving.
Anyhow, I reminded him that he, in fact, poached me from my previous company (who happens to be on the list) and that should it come to it, I was sure that there would be little sympathy for his position considering that he engaged in poaching in the first place.
Meanwhile, my friends who own contracts and master agreements with a few of the companies on the list all verified that no "non-poaching" clauses existed... and my employment was, as in my initial agreement, "at will."
I knew when I took the job that there was a chance this guy was going to be a piece of work. He was way worse than my worst dream. Second worst manager I've ever had the displeasure of working for.
