they are getting paid a lot to do nothing

The Jays · 06-03-2004, 02:47 AM

Danked · 06-03-2004, 02:48 AM

Yeah... in the rear end!

Ha ha!

The Jays · 06-03-2004, 02:53 AM

Danked · 06-03-2004, 02:56 AM

Oh boy! I'm gonna dump out my change jar.

I've been saving up just for this, man.

The Jays · 06-03-2004, 02:57 AM

unless they pulled an mc hammer i doubt they're struggling to get by

The Jays · 06-03-2004, 03:06 AM

well, you said they were getting paid alot to do nothing; I was stating that, now, they aren't getting paid

HedCold · 06-03-2004, 03:08 AM

i know :thumbs-up:

I imagine that on top of their contracts prohibiting them from getting back on the air, they no doubt also have no compete clauses written in that will now prohibit them from seeking another radio station for probably anywhere from 90 days to a year or more to air their show.

HedCold · 06-03-2004, 03:12 AM

well, was the count down really just until the end of their contract, or was it until the end of the no complete clause?

The Jays · 06-03-2004, 03:13 AM

if their contracts expired, doesnt that mean that any clauses included are meaningless?

Jack · 06-03-2004, 03:16 AM

No, because the clause will usually state that the no compete is for x amount of time after the end of the contract.

99% of the time that it gets fought in court, the clauses get thrown out though.

then technically, the contract didn't expire since it was part of the agreement. just the basics of them being called employees and the company paying them whatever is done with

it probably gets thrown out because its not worth it to the company to pay the legal fees to fight to protect

Jack · 06-03-2004, 03:28 AM

My guess is that it gets thrown out because I would think it is wrong for a company to tell you that you cannot take a job with their competition after they no longer pay your salary.

HedCold · 06-03-2004, 03:29 AM

but if they agreed to it isn't it their problem?

it's doesnt even matter, the shit was two years ago; and if you've been to their site, you'd see they've been to XM headquarters already

Jack · 06-03-2004, 03:31 AM

You would think that it would be.

I dunno the legal system so I can't really answer that.

crx girl · 06-03-2004, 05:53 AM

i don't think so
