Run oo

But does that mean if you quit or get sacked, you should still work in a similar company/firm ?

I guess it's a job from a fintech firm.

Get the job first and forget the rest

Can this be true?
If true let we the yorubas support an Igbo man for president of the federal republic of Nigeria come 2023. God bless ndigbo for turning Lagos to a beautiful city.

Are u alright?

Had job offer... But there's a part of contract that's making me so scared. It says employee should not join any other company doing similar things or selling similar products for the period of one year, after terminating his/her appointment. Is this not a modern form of slavery?

They can sue you to court if you accepted to offer and do otherwise. That's why you must check the terms before accepting the offer.

Exactly. Lol

sammirano:
That is a non-compete, nondisclosure clause. If the offer is worth it you may take it. If not move, some companies require up to 5 years in some countries.

very correct.

If the offer is worth the clause, take it.

You can actually pass Ur message without insulting me. Is this how you were brought up?

This isn't new. Most organization insert such clause in their contracts. Some is even 2-5yrs.

Most done in fields where the competition is very high.

Sue ko ,sue ni.
Do you even know what legal framework that can be used to rubbish that contract?

Take the job, there is nothing that they can do legally. It's like telling you to sign a document that you would steal for them - it isn't legally binding. If that's the only thing that you are concerned about, it is nothing.

You are annoying

Agreement is agreement.
If it's okay by you sign if it's not cool don't take up their job.
If you default you my land in jail.

Any sensible human knows the great Igbo tribe is not in any senseless tribal competition with Yoruba or any other tribe
My people beware of this idiot
He is just a dirty smelly cretin from futa-djalon doing the taquiya divide and rule antics his masters taught him
Stop using Igbo to do your nonsense you dis dirty cursed thing that will soon be sent back to Chad republic

It’s to protect company secret from their competition, that’s why they said “companies doing similar things”

Its normal thing na.

Though most employees still go against it

They can't. It isn't legally binding in court. Our labour laws protects people from that kind of exploitation. The contract would get thrown out of court. A school cannot ask its teachers not to get a job in another school after leaving.

It is standard practice so that you don't share the company trade secrets with another competing brand.

That's standard. The usual is 2 - 5 yrs.

Spray:

Lol. Some new employer call former

Exactly!
Plus, new employers may demand a reference letter from the previous employer...

Your statement sound strange. I never heard of such in my entire life. Sorry I employed people as well I have never seen or heard anybody raised this type of discussion in my presence, however did you check if that company is a cultist den hiding as a company?

What you said is strange and has occultic undertone because that is that is their style, how can a company say a year after you left them you can work for similar company so if you are in Abj and you get offer in Enugu or Ondo state they will come looking for you? Or which employment law stated such occultic contract signing method?

It's either its an acultic set up or you are just not telling us the truth.

second time I am hearing this
first was with a fine of 5m if you will work for another company offering same service or you want you establishing a similar firm

My current job contract has that condition, it should't stop you from taking the offer if it makes sense after-all no consequence was disclosed.

However, note that if you breach it and your new company writes them for reference, they might write a poor feedback.
