Ep 3. Breaking the Chains- Understanding Restrictions and Restraint of Trade.

Let’s Talk: Restraints of Trade in Employment Have you ever signed a contract that limited where or how you could work after leaving a job? That’s what’s known as a restraint of trade — a clause often tucked into employment agreements, aiming to protect a business’s interests. But where’s the line between fair protection and restricting someone’s right to earn a living? In this episode, we explore the realities of post-employment restraints, especially in the telecom and fibre industries, where niche expertise and tight-knit networks make this a hot topic. From non-compete and non-solicitation clauses to how enforceable they really are — we’re pulling back the curtain. I want your take. Have you been held back by one? Fought it? Ignored it? Whether you’re an employer, contractor, or field tech, I’d love to hear your experiences and thoughts. 📩 Drop your feedback or confession — anonymously if you like — via the record funtion on the website or email OpticEdgePodcast@gmail.com [OpticEdgePodcast@gmail.com]. Let’s open up the conversation and explore how these clauses affect real people in real careers.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
