Contracting Agency Threatening

Mar 17 2 Comments

Details about my case:
I am working with a Contracting Agency (A) since past 6 years , I am on H1-B and I-140 approved.
The associated Client (C) I work for extended a Full Time Offer recently.
(A) and (C) have a Vendor (B) in between.
(A) is suggesting I cannot join (C) for the next 2 years since I signed a Contractual Obligation back in 2015.
They're demanding $10k for the same.

Question)
Since (A) and (C) are not directly connected, should I be concerned about the issues raised by (A).

    It entirely depends on exactly what you signed, and you shouldn’t expect to receive free legal advice on an anonymous forum. Find and pay an employment lawyer to evaluate your contract.

    1) you need to consult a lawyer (this will not be free)
    2) work on written communication skills
    3) be reasonable: you seem to be saying (#2) that there is a buyout of $10k: won't you still benefit from the new opportunity even if you have to pay the buyout? Could you negotiate a signing bonus with the new company to cover it ("grossed up" for taxes)?

    Note that #1 and #3 have in common the mindset of being obsessed with avoiding small, reasonable expenses regardless of net worth or TC.
