Been looking at the non compete and it mentions a 1 year if you leave the company for any reason, including layoff or termination. Does anyone have any additional insights on the non compete?
The contract specified what “comparing business” is. Basically you cannot sell a competitive product with the same indication in the same territory. So if you are selling Trintellix, then you cannot sell another antidepressant in that territory.
Where do you see the noncompete? Is it somewhere we have to sign? I was rejected from a job offer because of the noncompete and I have never seen one or signed one.
When did the non compete come out? I knew of people who were laid off going to work for Allergan selling Linzess, is this new?
N.C. are complete bullshit for sales reps and you can wipe you ass with them. 1st you you have a right to work if downsizing occurs.. 2nd 99% of us are in right to work states. 3rd if you leave in your own accord. Placed a workplace sexual harassment or discrimination HR claim in. Takeda is the shittest workplace for Mgt aggressive behavior.
If you work in a right to work state, non-competes are pretty much unenforceable. Additionally, you aren’t special enough for legal to strap on their boots and take you down. Non-competes are typically enforced on high level executives and R&D with access to secretive/patented tech. Go sell whatever product you like.
I think I just figured out the issue Takeda has and why they feel they need these non-compete agreements. Takeda could care less if someone sells a direct competitor product in the same territory, as well as has access to their active customer lists. What they do care about is letting the industry know their ridiculous operating practices, non-impactful marketing strategies and generally how screwed up the company is, not to mention what a colossal embarrassment this company has become.
I was denied the right to a position with another company because I was told that Takeda (and I) had a noncompete clause. I was hired 7 years ago and never signed one nor had I ever been told about one. The severance package was signed in 2016 and my position was cut in 2017, along with 499 more. The job I was going to be offered was a higher paying job with stability. In my opinion Takeda knew in 2016 I was going to be cut in 2017 and prevented me from moving on. Thus I was j employed for several months before starting a new job. Anyone else had the same experience?
