When I said that I wanted to leave, my employer offered me a $20,000 bonus and to increase my commission percentage. When I declined that, he came at me with his attorneys, citing a non-compete clause. (Which was outlawed in Oklahoma last year). And then he stated that I owed him $15,000 for over payment of commissions. Problem is: 1. In the 3 years he never gave me an accounting of earned commissions. 2. The contract stated that commissions would be paid as fees were paid to the firm by the projects. Since I was not a part of accounting, payroll, or commissions tabulations, I hardly see where I can be held accountable for anything. 3. Since no updates were provided, I kept my own running tabulation which shows that I am still owed $6,000.00.
The next thing that happened: In my resignation letter I stated that I had removed my person items from the office. He sent a letter stated that he did not trust me and believed that I took things owned by him. Then he states: "Please send me a list of everything removed from the office." WHAT? Thought he didn't trust me?
ANY WHO, Martin Design Associates is up and running! And I am grinning every day.
More later
