Work It Podcast: Is the non-compete clause sabotaging your next career move?

Tiffany:

Red flag best? Employees should never repeatedly put themselves in boxes, in my opinion.

They should politely but really inquire as to why certain clauses of their contract should be there or not. People, as well as employers, need to also know their self-worth in the market. At the end of the day, it’s a dialogue between two functions, right? Willing client, ready vendor. &nbsp,

Also, if you’re the boss, and you have this staff who’s challenging every provision in your agreement, you’re thinking, do I need this person? I mean, she has n’t even started, and she’s already questioning everything and tearing my contract apart. Then, of course, while the company understands that maybe it could be written much, I suppose at the end of the day, it’s about the way you speak your concerns, right?

Instead of being hostile and aggressive, be courteous and truly authentic in seeking an answer to get (out ) if a bargain can be reached. &nbsp, &nbsp,

Gerald Tan:
I think the key term here is a bargain. I like what Jonathan said about not coming across as combative. In order to secure the task, most job applicants at that time believe they have little to bargain on. They want the individual to accept the deal and ratify it. However, I believe it would be best if we continued to use what Jonathan said about the value of the contract and try to improve and compromise it. &nbsp,

However, some employers have the realistic side of me that simply says,” You know what, I’ll provide the contract to another individual who do accept whatever I put”.

Therefore, I believe that everyone should work together in this same attitude. It may encourage employers to view contracts as a tool rather than just as templates as something they should do right for each individual.
