It's a sue or get sued country. Wild west out here with the courts, gotta be quick on the draw.
I got fired from my job as a mechanic today
Op listen to this guy
You didn't have a non compete clause and it sounds like your boss didn't want that job anyways
If you have the skills go work somewhere else or for yourself for a while until you can find a better job
That is not true man where I work I don't have a non compete clause so I do side work for triple the hourly rate all the time. There are some limitations but still
>free at the mercy of arbitrary judge
>Tell those last couple projects you'll do it in their garage for half off.
Obviously file for unemployment, but beyond that, unless you are in some special extra-fair state...
You are "at-will"
Google it, pretty much means you can come and go as you please and they can fire and hire as they please
>you won't regret it, I promise
Ew, bait.
If you got that side work trough someone else's garage then you ard in the wrong.
If you got the work independently yhen there shouldn't be a problem.
AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!
He was looking for a reason to fire you and just waiting for the right opportunity, it seems. If you were valuable to him, he would have stopped after the warning.
