Is an employers non-compete agreement enforcable if that employer knowingly and intentionally competes unfairly in the market place.
I was terminated after 14 months and my unemployment claim was not disputed.
My direct supervisor discovered along with the aid of fellow employees that my employer had been misrepresenting it's products and had knowingly continued that practice for many years.
Several other employees and I showed managers the undisputable evidence of this practice. During several meetings and numerous e-mail discussions throughout the course of twelve months, management was notified of the misrepresentation of products and data to support the false representations. The employer became very retaliatory towards us, and failed to adress the misrepresentations.
Two employees quit and went to the competitor named in the non-compete agreement. I was terminated on the day of their departure and also went to the competitor.
We were all sued.
