Skoorb how are you good buddy Thanks for the reply.

I am hoping my present employer doesn't contact the new company saying I have a non-compete. Could my present employer essentially refuse to sign a waiver? It's not like I have any top secret information it's just helpdesk work?! My boss still hasn't conacted me with any copy of the agreement I signed either. This is all a big learning experience for me

Worst case scenario:
The new company says I need a waiver but my boss doesn't want to do it......then what should I do?

why would your new company require a waiver from your old company? the agreement is between u and the old company. there is NOTHING between the old and the new company.

As I said above...sometimes two companies have close ties and want to make sure there is no bad blood.

That's what I thought, but thy are making the other 2 employees from the other company get a waiver? Mayve it's a legality thing? I hdidn't hear anything today so I guess there's no problem so far?

Thanks a lot for the input, you all have truly put me to ease ) More than what you realize!!!!

Just a quick update. my present employer wanted me to leave the contract we are on now and put me on the field for the next 2 days?!?! Talk about playing games. I was very close to quitting but I will do what I have to! I'm supposed to help train a guy but I guess he said forget it? OH well. Who cares I guess. It's a shame us contractors have to go through this crap huh?! I want to leave on a good note, regardless of what my boss tries to do.

Thanks again.
