On the other hand I hope he loses all of his best people to this competitor and loses tons of money chasing after them. God, i hope either OP or the fired employee chronicles this over at r/legaladvice. Speaking of which, some dude at legaladvice posted an update about how his former employer sued him after he left the company, and the judge finally threw the case out. Virginia – Being sued due to separation from company, their business is now suffering due to my (semi) agreed upon departure. quote:Northern Virginia [UPDATE] - Virginia - Former Employer threatening to sue, no NDA, customers leaving them, coming to me. quote:Wow, I still cannot believe that this took 2.5 years to deal with. gently caress me, I am tired. This was all settled a few weeks ago.

WIBTA for telling my friend he can’t bring a pimp to my wedding?quote:A group of us went to what was basically a brothel on a lads trip in a nearby city. My friend we’ll call Peter immediately struck up a rapport with the “host” and even stayed behind that night just to talk with him while the rest of us went to a club. Peter only recently came out as gay and this is his first relationship with a man. He is very proud of this and even cut ties with family members who told him they could not accept him over that. I’ve seen the host several times now and while he is friendly and unassuming I can’t get his job out of my head. Peter says host is completely normal, even used to be a chemistry instructor (and I believe it) and it’s hard for people of their country (they’re both immigrants) to get normal jobs here. He plans to bring him as his plus one and I’m completely against it. AITA?

How can I [29F] stop my partner [32M] from trying to 'fill' my daily schedule for me?quote:We have been together 5 years, have a 4yo kid already and I am currently pregnant with baby number 2. from the comments section quote:The visitors thing he does really sneakily. He will invite them over for a tea just before he leaves for work. Then he leaves and I'm left with a visitor for an unknown length of time when I just want to sleep lol. quote:To be honest, I'm actually pretty headstrong and believe it or not this was my first tactic and instinctive reaction. I just was like hey, stop doing that. It annoys me. No I'm not going to make cupcakes today because I don't feel like it.

and then you guys can maybe bake a cake!'. I've asked him in the past what happens if I don't feel up for family visiting or baking, and he just brushes it off like oh well you have to do something with your day anyway, you're not working so you have all the time in the world to relax afterwards.

While it is true that American common law (and the judges who wield it) are generally opposed to noncompete clauses, seeing them as anticompetitive measures antithetical to the American dream, many “pro-business” state legislatures HAVE enacted statutes that basically give employers carte Blanche. In fact, while the state common law would often say that the entire noncompete clause was invalid if it was overbroad unreasonable, etc., in any manner (eg radius, duration) many state statutes go so far as to include “blue pencil” rules that basically say that the judge is obligated to rewrite the clause to effect its original terms to the greatest extent allowed by law in the event it doesn’t pass judicial muster. Also, enforceability/breadth/etc of the clause is highly variable because there is no “one way” to do write a noncompete, so just cause you won your case doesn’t mean your friend working down the street won’t get cratered by a well written agreement. Also, many times people gently caress this up by taking their customer lists/brochures/etc. and arguably proprietary information from their former employer and get them and their new employer hit or with unfair competition/trade secrets or other common law/statutory tort claims just as a “gently caress it, we may be able to get a preliminary injunction and gently caress up their business and make them look bad” kind of way. Finally, any employment contract worth its salt will say that even if you are fired or otherwise stop working at the employer by no fault of your own, you are still bound by all/part of the remaining terms of the agreement (often called “survival clauses”). Still, a good lawyer may be able to work it out one way or the other.

The terms of the contract would be the most important aspect but my tangential awareness is when people have challenged this non-competes they tend to win but after years of prolonged court battles and for many people the biggest hurdle is the financial burden fighting a non compete would impose. Its the same when firing people for ambiguous reasons (i.e "bad attitude" because a female worker won't gently caress the manager in charge of her) the cost of suing your former employer both financial and social outweighs the need to find a new source of income to avoid homelessness.

AITA for not wanting my husband to leave town while I’m pregnant to take mushrooms with his friend? We’ve been married for two years (together for 13), he’s an awesome husband, we’re both therapists, and I’m two months pregnant. He’s recently gotten into Michael Pollen’s new book on psychedelics as a treatment for a variety of mental health issues, and is inspired to take his private practice in that direction. I’m thrilled to see him so passionate about something and as a therapist myself I fully support that as a treatment modality. He’s 13 years in recovery from heroin addiction. He rarely drinks, but smokes pot regularly. This scares me given his history, but prior to being pregnant I smoked pot too so I can’t be too hypocritical. He’s struggling to give up the pot since I became pregnant even though it was his idea to be sober with me during the pregnancy. Given the drug history and the struggle with pot, his recent fascination with taking mushrooms is scaring me, and it peaked when he let me know that he wanted to take them with his friend who lives out of state next weekend. Maybe it’s the hormones and I’m being overly afraid of abandonment, so I want to make sure I’m not just being some nagging, hormonal wife standing in the way of what he truly believes will be a spiritual experience. I’m totally open to the idea of him taking mushrooms, maybe even trying them myself one day, but I’m struggling with his choice given the timing and context. Am I the rear end in a top hat for feeling lovely and scared about this and asking him not to do it? EDIT: Yes, I’m aware mushrooms themselves aren’t addictive, this is more about concern the overall pattern of behavior. Yes, we are totally in communication about it, no secret grudges or anything, just needed reddit‘s objective feedback since I can’t see clearly through the blinding hormonal fluctuations!

AITA for telling a bi man that he’s gross for having sexual fantasies about our straight friend? I have this friend who is quite secure in his heterosexuality and isnt stereotypically a “guy.” He’s sensitive and open about his feelings, genuine and quite in touch with his feminine side. This does NOT make him gay. But I also have this other friend, who is quite bi and of the mindset that everyone should be like him. He’s very much into the straight guy, I’ll call him Nate, and bi guy, I’ll call him Anthony, always makes such unnecessary comments about this attraction. I’ve been present when Anthony comes on a little too hard and Nate politely puts him in his place and informs he has zero interest in men. Anthony always lays off. But around me, he constantly talks about how Nate should be “more like me” and “open to men.” He’s confided in me that turning Nate bi is his end goal and that sex with Nate is his dream. He sometimes goes into explicit detail of what he’d do to him. One day, when the flirting was too much for me to endure, I kinda blew up and told Anthony he was sick and told Nate everything he’d been saying. Nate was rightfully upset and awkwardly left. Afterwards, Anthony actually cried and told me I was a “biphobe” and a “homophobe” and it was just harmless fun, that everyone had the potential to be bi and that Nate was deep in denial. I’m no expert on sexuality, but if a straight man has the potential to be bi, then gay men have the potential to be bi. Anthony hasn’t talked to me since and Nate refuses to talk about it. AITA?

If you take the red pill, you realize that all women are whores who ride Chad's dick, if you take the blue pill you're a beta cuck who wants to believe Stacy loves you even though you're under 6' tall. That's the basic gist of it anyway.

AITA if I sleep in on vacation with my future in-laws? My fiance and I have been dating for over two years, engaged for 6 months. We live far away from our families, so there haven't been many opportunities for us to meet one another's parents, but an issue has arisen. I work full time, 8 AM-7 PM. My fiance works a flex schedule, but usually doesn't have to be at work until 10 AM My fiance's mom works in healthcare, and works early shifts, usually getting to work by 5 or 6. My fiance's father works in building management, similar hours as his wife. They go to bed around 8 PM. Since we're getting married we've made an effort to use our vacation time to spend it with our parents. After we got engaged, I visited my fiance's family for the first time over a 4 day weekend. Every day of the trip, his parents woke up at 5 AM and woke us up to have breakfast with them at 6. Mind you, since most things don't open until 9, they spend this morning time either reading or watching TV. This is not how my family works--and not how my fiance and I spend our weekends either. My favorite way to relax is by sleeping in, because I work such long hours. Because it was my first time visiting them, I went along with it but was *exhausted* the whole trip. I came back more tired and run down than before I left. I'm used to going to bed by 10/11...I just couldn't fall asleep earlier. I brought it up with my fiance and he said that "That's just how his family works' and it has "never bothered him." We planned a 4th of July trip all together in California for two weeks. This was almost all of my vacation for the year. I mentioned to my fiance that since this was my year's vacation, I was going to sleep in some days and for him/his parents not to wait up for me every morning. I didn't think it was a big deal. For the first few days of the trip, I did the "wake up at 5 AM" but mentioned I really needed some sleep and would be sleeping on my schedule for the rest of the trip. They seemed a little put off, but I didn't think much of it. The next couple mornings, I woke up around 8 (still earlier than I usually would and a reasonable time in my opinion), got ready and made myself my own food to be ready by 9/9:30. The trip seemed fine to me, but when we got home my fiance lit into me about how 'incredibly rude' it was for me to sleep while they were all spending time together, and that I was 'clearly disrespecting' their family traditions and that his parents thought it was really stuck up of me. I told him that while I enjoyed spending time with his family, I wasn't going to spend my only vacation of the year exhausted and uncomfortable. I went along with everything else they did on the trip. He said I was being a jerk who only cared about my own needs on a family vacation. In my opinion, I wasn't making anyone else change their schedule or be inconvenienced. We fought about it and simply couldn't agree. We are coming up on Thanksgiving/Xmas trip planning and I'm sure this is going to come up again. AITA?

Kill the whole family of holiday early risers so they are taken out of the gene pool. Think of it as your civic duty. The only two non-negotiable parts of a relationship are having a basic level of personal hygiene and not interupting sleep.
