Soon to be:
Who are your "sources" at HR?" Do you believe that they can really be trusted? I would think that consistent and deliberate enforcement would hold more water than selective, case-by-case enforcement, presumably based on the success of any startup or needle movement of a competitor? I guess it depends on the integrity of the select few who will now be swallowed up by ATC. Do you think that they will rat on their friends who they may be coming to soon for another opportunity anyway once their sacrificial mission plays out? I guess it depends on how brainwashed they got in Atlanta last week.
The other side of this is that COX has had no apparent problems or guilt in hiring sales people that came from competitors and the trade info that was asked for in that process. When I was hired up here in the North 2 years ago shortly after this "divorce" or whatever you all call it, I was not even asked if I had signed a non-compete with my former employer, and I was welcomed with open arms but was also "expected", (although not in writing) to bring my clients with me, which I did and they happily took the money with [again] no guilt whatsoever. Then all these good things I though were coming my way really started spelling the beginning of the end... AutoExtra lost the slick covers, went B&W and all the positions that I was told I could sell on the new display program during the big blitz went ROP to save money. Then, all of the ads that I took and promised to my clients would appear on AT.C at no charge got blocked, as well as the blocking by ATC of my 800 tracking numbers that helped my credibility with my converted clients as that all changed, and my promised level playing field became a sand box that resembled a badly abused cat litter box, and I became elevated to a position of ceremonial shmuck with my dealer advocates and confidants. So I got pretty much lied to from day one. Bitter ??? Of course not! I am finally liberated next week.
It will be interesting to see what happens next.
