I do. The non-compete only qualifies for sales people leaving and deals they'd been working. I think I'm in the clear.

 

I countered asking for 12% more. I'm told they'll respond today. That said, I'm taking the job either way. It's too important to my family's future. I could work at this place, worry free, for the next 30 years.

It'd be a hard decision for me if it meant abandoning this team and knowing that they're all going to get the ax, but with them being able to come over with you seems to make it much easier.

I'm not sure they'll all get hired. But I'm sure a lot of them will. They all still live with their parents, too, which helps.

Anyway you can make one of the conditions of your employment that you want all of your team to come with you?

They know it's important. First domino needs to fall today.

Did you send your contract over to Badger or something, Steve?

 

Considering what you mentioned about the first client signing, and the fact that your company wouldn't be able to fulfill the terms of the deal if you all leave, you may want to just have someone look at it to ensure you're truly are in the clear.

 

If you walk, they are going to be pissed...so you need to know the s***storm won't follow you.

I'd help get the job done.

So you are going to move on, but help them satisfy this one contract until they can either replace you or shut down this area of the business?

 

Be careful...this sounds potentially messy.

 

One option to think about...the new company takes over the new contract but the old company gets a "finders fee" of 25% or something. Just an idea...

Ugh. Waiting for a response on a counter is the worst. It's the "I had it, did I screw it up" feeling that makes me want to die.

Relax, I highly doubt a company would pull an offer off of the table due to a counter. They go into it expecting a negotiation just like you do.

The worse they can say is no. I doubt they'd pass you over because you requested more money. Maybe if you were adamant about your rate.
