I'm with ya on the honourable thing to do. And when I'm subbing I would not dream of doing anything else. But it's a dog eat dog world out there.

 

It sure is, as my above post shows, but theres more to honour than just honour, could also be known as "dont burn your bridges!" or dont £%*& on you own doorstep, etc etc.

After you have left is a different matter, I agree. But if you got the contacts while at the company and that was the reason you were sacked then thats fair enough. Of course your then going to follow up those contacts as you need the work.

 

If you leave employment by choice, and then customers contact you then thats fair enough. Thats pretty much what happened to me but one of the customers was the LA who preffered to deal with me than my old company (boss was a knob, like mentioned above) so they encouraged me to get on board with them and the rest is history. I got no end of abuse from my old boss but legal action was not taken and wouldnt have helped him, and I never felt guilty for a second.

 

So you "slinked in" behind your ex bosses back? ( so they encouraged me to get on board!!).......Really........Sounds like you got into your trade/business the same way has most the rest of us.

I work very well with my boss , only do 3 days most weeks , he get's work in and so do I , I also have him work for me time to time and he don't like it when I pay him what he pays me after I tell him what I got for the Job.

But that's life.

This all happened about a year after I left his employment. But, yes, you make your own way in this world and take what's offered.

But if I had been lining work up while still employed then I would expect to be sacked.

Your having a laugh, aren't ya mate?.....Company information might be a "no-no". But working for customers that they met whilst working for you. That's how most of us (I would say) started on our own. In what ever trade we do.

 

Speak for yourself!, thats lower than a snakes belly, IMO:thumbdown: and something I would never do.

 

Had one cretin who had worked for me try it, but fortunately my customers are loyal and rang to tell me about his door knocking.

 

I rang the aforementioned cretin pointing out that it was not cricket and it would be better if he did not do it again.

Lower than a snakes belly!....And I can only talk for myself...Are you telling me you have been "fair and square" all of your business life?

Yeah on company time or door knocking is a bit immoral.. But if the customer found his contact details, (and they may have not known it was him just found his number in an ad) then that's a bit different. Surely?

Well done! Holiness is next to Godliness.
