Of course I hv a learned opinion on this matter, but I seldom give free advice unfortunately.

Its debatetable how much your learned opinion is valued here.

Ya... I also have a learned opinion. That's why I haven't spoken yet too

 

What's your opinion of my opinion?

I also have learned opinion. Learned people like us should just keep everything to ourselves and stay off all public forums.

Perhaps I could put it across in another way..... public forums are great sharing platforms, and I hv learnt a lot from MCF, along with many others. However when we deal with more serious matters other than "what tyre should I buy" or "is XYZ a good groomer / mechanic", I really am of the view that professional advice should be sought.

 

Just my view, something as serious as potentially being brought to court should not be determined based on views shared on public forums.

 

Apologies if I crossed anyone here.

I doubt any of us will take forum information as gospel.

 

Just cos i read "ATBCBJHJ" doesn't mean i will try it just for the taste.

 

I'm sure we can separate general advice and specific advice both as people dispensing and people receiving.

 

Anyway if u're amused. Then at least say something why u think you're amused.

Thanks for the feedback. Guess posts count and points matter much here, hence I better just keep to advising my paying clients. Hv a great day then.

Thanks. Cos i signed some anti-competition clause when i joined.

Which i thought was just plain silly unless i set up shop right beside my old clinic.

Though i don't think i will leave on bad terms.

Yeah i read about the initial lawsuit but didn't read about the conclusion!

for your type of specialised professions. very hard to enforce the clause.

 

lagi restraint of trade.

not post counts. we all started from somewhere

 

ppl will respect good advice.

 

but your comment was uncalled for esp since you have nothing to contribute.

 

in short: you asked for it.

bro ... if everyone like you, then the world will not be a better place. if you are so worried about giving wrong advice, give a disclaimer that yours is a non-legal advice and that they take it with no liability on your part.

 

like that, all of the guys in the property thread will also die.

 

ultimately, this is just a discussion. what you choose to do with *any* advice you find on a forum is definitely your problem.

 

also - dont think anybody gives 2 hoots about the points. not say i can feed myself with that points. but sharing on the forums can lead to learning new things ... but i guess we are all different in the way we perceive participation ... :P

Just read through the seacad case ---

 

Seems the issue there was the senorority (arrgghh spelling) of the defendant - he was the GM of the company, and access to confidential information - so that seems to validate what most here have been saying...

It's not about post count or points. It's about post quality. And so far, points are mostly given when posts are of a good quality. Hence, we can see from post count / points ratio of a forumer's quality (somewhat). It's not a be all and end all, but it does give a good indicator.

 

This is a public forum, people give advice based on what they know or heard. Some posters gave very good advise on their area of expertise, so you'll see sometimes when TF4 talks about medical, or Sp4wn talks about property management, or T2 talking about cigar or rolex or table wiping, other forumers do learn from them. At least, I know I do..

hi guys.

 

asking a question on behalf of a good friend of mind.

 

background.

- Sales manager in a coy dealing with IT products

- Company late with salary on several occasions in the last yr.

- was offered a role with a competitor with 30% up.

- current contract clause restrict employment with all direct and indirect competitors for 1 year.

 

Question

1. Is restraint of trade enforceable in singapore? MOM website very ambiguous.

2. Is late payment of salary/CPF considered a breach of contract? hence making the contract null and void?

 

thanks in advance

 

she sld let her new potential employer be aware of the clause.........I think the HR department can advice her better...........
