Thanks jon. I'm trying to make use of my contacts while supporting what my old firm does, in hopes that they see that I can do my thing and if anything it will help clear the way for them to continue to do their thing. I think they were really surprised at the tone of my exit--because I made it...

I may have said something misleading here--I am not looking at joining another management firm. Historically I've always worked directly with the end user. My best step is to sign on with one of them in an in-house position and let my old company go about their end of the business. Interesting...

There is no possible way clients will 'leave with me'. I am not in that scale of business. Even after the two year noncompete if I return to the business it will not be to the scale of the company I was working for--it will still be in association with them if anything.

You really sound like my attitude all the way down. I've been making social calls. Actually had a couple folks come to me with offers--one a career offer that we all assume I will decline, another immediately upon learning I might reopen my old construction business. I believe we left on good...

Thanks--I guess I'm just anticipating the trouble because when something comes up I'm going for it somehow. Resume is ready and the first folks who asked for it to begin marketing are those in the building where I was working. They are in the business of creating business and have actually found...

That sounds right, and based on the earlier definition of 'right to work' state I tried to edit the title and failed. I'm trying to get used to a new computer here because mine went down the day of the dismissal. sheeeesh. I am definitely not prohibited from working in facilities. They are...

UPDATE: I've been let go. April 30. My management company has been gradually downsizing over the past several years and we were down to three in the field, and one Super mostly managing the contracts and we three. I was the most experienced and also the least 'flexible', being primarily...

All of the comments are appreciated and enlightening. I see where I don't understand the "right to work" concept, and maybe the non compete is somewhat irrelevant too. What I am looking at is a situation where the building which I manage is putting that management contract out to bid. My company...

Thanks to all, and sorry I haven't been able to monitor this through the day. The bolded question here pretty much defines my concern. It's a no brainer for the client to encourage a new company to look at bringing me on board since I have established most of the standards and procedures over...

No, but it's hearsay--convincing, but still hearsay. Nothing to do with unions that I know of.

I've been working for a management company for the better part of twenty years, primarily dedicated to one facility. It's their flagship operation, and is a large--maybe disproportionate part of their bottom line. As part of my responsibilities I oversee contracts, including theirs, so I'm privy...
