I'm going to leave FB and I was considering applying to Snap. The problem is that I work on some of the "Snap clone" features and I'm afraid of FB claiming that I broke the non competition clause of my employment contract. Does anyone had any kind of experience like that before? I know the employer can't ask for this in CA, but I live in WA. Also, just to clarify, I'm not planning to go full Levandowski or anything like that, I just rather work on the source material than the copy.
If you are just an e5 or lower I wouldn't worry about it dude
Yeah... about that...
fine unless you are eng director or almost eng director 😂😂😂
Call an employment lawyer? They generally don't charge for an initial phone conversation
That what I was thinking about doing, specially if things get serious. I was just wondering if other people had a similar experience.
and I thought levandowski (as a verb) was only being used by googlers! man made a huge dent!
That guy did a huge dick move, totally unethical.
I paid 3k$ for employment lawyer just to double check all options. Total waste of money but the risks are huge if you don't.
3k is cheap is you consider a lawsuit. How was your experience with the lawyer? I'm worried about them saying something very vague or been very risk averse.
They were very clear. I had no options. My contact was super tight. 😭
we have an ombuds. toss them some hypotheticals the other way around like snap coming to fb and working on stories.
I wonder if Snap have the same thing
Are non competing clauses legal in California?
Afaik, they are not, but I'm not in California
So, Camera team then? Is it a bad eng culture or WLB driving you out? I was considering a role in the Camera team.
Nope, is another team
Ah... well, know anything about Camera? Good people? Good place to work?
Generally companies don't care unless you are in a strategically important sr exec/engr role.
wait hold on - if you're in California you're fine. you can't enforce non competes here.
Wait hold on they said several times they're in WA
