I am currently being threatened by my former employer (they are "compelled [to] take action against [me]") for the way I am running ANN, and how this allegedly violates my employment contract with them ("interfere _in any manner_ with any business relationship between the Company and any of its customers or business partners"). This might entail drastic changes to the relative freedom of speech ANN has always allowed its visitors, or ANN might close down altogether. Updated 10:00 CET.

Legal threats? : Comment 247 of 1057 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Angeldaniel on 06-Apr-2004 13:26 GMT | Man, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. It's kinda stupid too, since their wording almost suggests that if you have any other PERSONAL relationships with ANY company in any way which is not luvvy-duvvy and useful to your boss, then that's going to be grounds for a lawsuit. Frankly, what you do in your spare time is entirely your own business, it is none of their business whatsoever. I think you should fire your employer and get a new job. How DARE they treat you like that! It's rediculous, man. Saying that your website looks bad for their company or makes an issue for their company relationships is nothing to do with them. It's like saying that if you wear a pink t-shirt and someone laughs at you, then you aren't representing your company. Man, if that's how they are going to treat you, you need a new job. Good luck to ya! ANN is a great website. |
