My head gets jumbled when I try to go through all of these legal agreement words to identify what is or isn't relevant, or when trying to find a simple yes or no answer. Can anyone help?
The situation: I work for a company that other companies hire to do work for them. One of these companies that hired us - that my current company gets paid to do work for - has offered me a job position with them instead, doing work that is similar to what I do for them now (at my current company). My hands-on experience with their work is what made them consider me; there is no hidden attempt at trade secrets and zero chance they would ask for confidential information or anything of that nature. The field is customer service support, if this helps. Looking at the signed agreement of my current company, is it going to stop me from taking this offered job?
There is no bad blood or shiftiness about either company, but I'm worrying anyway, when things get legal like this; it's new for me.
Can someone help simplify a yes or no and the why? If it would be a no, is there any hole where it could work out? The company that has asked me to work for them is pretty excited to have me on their team. I really want this new job position because it fits, it's (slightly) better pay for me & my fam, and these are good people who were just like, 'We've worked with her - this girl is great! Why don't we consider her?'
