They basically took my desicion beyond that of a bussiness move into being a personal blow to them. They thought by having the court issue me a restraining order it would stop me and make me go back. Based probably on the thought that I wouldn't be able to afford a lawyer to fight them on this decision. But I was able to, and won....
I was working for a small ISP and decided to move to another for various reasons, one being I saw more room for advancement with the new company. I had signed a no compete agreement when I was 20 and being offered 6.25/hr to do tech support. Which is total BS anyways. Over the course of two years my duties increased and I became a bigger part of the company. But being 22, I wanted to do different things and had an offer with better advancement options. I took the job. I got a restraining order. I went to court. And I won back my right to work. Now I am a happy system administrator for the ISP whos office is about 1/2 mile away from my old job:>
