good luck take care and see you in Oct. !!!

wouldnt hold up in a ton of usa states either.

i'd contest it.

You will be missed!
 

It really breaks my heart to hear that you won't be working for awhile with us. :Oh crap BUT it's not forever. :winkwink: You have a huge family in LA!! xo

We will ALWAYS be here for you. That's what friends are for. KNOW that you are more than welcome to come back to LA and kick it with all of us. Hell we'll throw a party or something in your honor!! :thumbsup And if you decide you'd rather visit SD plan on some of us traveling down just to see you my friend. :banana :evil-laug HAHAH

Much love and light sent your way. Oh! and by the way.....I'm thrilled to hear you are back in school. So am I after all these years. Doesn't it feel soooo good?!!
:xmas-smil

Take care, I know we'll be in touch some how. :winkwink:

Merry Christmas and Have a STELLAR New Year! <3

Cuidate Yo! :pimp

Non-competes, if written correctly will hold up, but it would have to be pretty specific, like you can not enter the same type of work.

Saying you can not work on the Internet is not specific enough.

Good luck Mike.

I do agree its not kewl but we dont know all the facts

Best of luck Mike

I'll miss ya Mike!! Hit me up and say hi once in a while... I promise not to talk about work, so I won?t :)

Have a great year bud!!

read between the lines people

All the best Mike.. look forward to seeing you again.

There is to many lines and half of them cannot read.

Besides I think it's funny as shit that they are all wishing him well. I'm going to love the OWNED picture at the end of this thread.

you are a great guy and this will be a blessing. can't wait to party again, this time we'll hit the supperclub in san fran

please share if you know something

I wish you all the best man

Me?

I don't know shit. I'm just a dumbass fat webmaster (read previous threads from today)

However I am left handed and use the RIGHT side of my brain (read some of the other threads from today)

yall been fucking owned big time ... it went into the second page put the owned pics up now.

In my opiniopn, You are right! And it probably wouldn't hold up in Europe Either. My Partner, who is from Europe, believes this is not an inforcable action.

However, it has been my experience that many BIG companies, throughout the world, often use "tactics" that they know are not enforcable becuase they realize the former employee would have to spend a large sum of money hiring an attorney and fighting a long and expensive legal battle to ultimately gain nothing more then a "You were right" from the courts.

In my opinion, a former employee could easily spend $30,000 + for the court to say that the non compete agreement will remain in affect until the judge has made his ruling. You and I both know how slow court systems work and it wouldn't be unreasonable to wait upt to a year and a half before you heard that you were right all along.

So, basically after spending over 30K and not be able to work in the industry for a year and a half the only thing you win is a "you were right mr. Former employee "


In the end it doesnt make financial sense even though it does on principal. :2 cents:


We miss you Mike. I wish you the best at whatever you do and Im buying my ticket to AMS right now !

I can't say if this is good for you, so I won't :)
But good luck :)

I love this post Laura!

That was an awesome post! I want to come too now :)

Good luck to you Mike Dutch....Project Management and Project Planning....thats a great field to get into...i hope you got a years pay as severence to make up for the year away from the biz...

hmmm, what a pity - see you next year :winkwink:

He did.. :1orglaugh haha sorry I couldn't resist...

Good luck Mike :thumbsup

Mike they can not hold your skills hostage. There is no way that non compete will stand fight the power.

:2 cents:

Hey Dutch Boy
 

Mike,
Tim and I will be back in Amdam sometime soon I am sure to do paperwork or something like that. So I will get in touch ahead of time. Of course I will take you up on the offer of VIP treatment at the club hahahahah

Also open invite for you to come back to Palm Springs anytime you like. Just call or email.

Adios.

Mike, I'm so glad to hear from you again after you disapeared in the dark that night in Amsterdam ;)

I don't have any of your new contact info, so YOU BETTER SEND ME AN EMAIL (rex at totemcash dot com) or I'll jump on the train to Amsterdam next Friday to kick your ass.

TTYS

You will be missed at Payserve Mike.

This is very bad news for me, becuase you've been an asset to my relationship with payserve. Sad thing to see you leave there :(

Best of luck and lots of laughter to you. :)

hey Mike thumbsup man you were a stand up guy for me in this bussiness! meet you in 1 year again i hope youll be arround then! this bussiness needs guys like you!

What she said.

ugh... the blue letters hurts my eyes

Mike - good luck - have fun in school - and we'll see you very soon!

precisely

wtf are you talking about?

Good luck Mike, let's grab a beer sometime soon :)

Mike is not just a solid, outstanding, straight up guy, I consider him one of the real friends I have made in this industry.

In an era when resignations and sackings in this biz seem almost the trendy thing, one need just read Mike's post, AND consider that he has let all the initial buzz die down befor posting, and compare that to some of the recent whinges and whines and carryings on of others to see the true estimate of the man.

Mike knows as well as anyone else who understands these things that he could take up work with another adult firm tomorrow, and do it in such a way that any restraint of trade clause wouldn't be worth the shit it is written on, but it stinks of the class of the man that he will honor a gentleman's agreement that sits behind any contract anyone may ever enter into.

Payserve's loss is to eventually be someone else's gain, and I can bloody well tell you, if I can pump up my volume to be able to afford someone of Mike's calibre by Oct 06, the rest of you can fuck right off, he's all mine ;-)

Mike, my brother, I look forward to seeing and partying with you in Amsterdam at New Years, and will make a sepcial effort to get over again in the New Year and spend some time with you - shows are not going to b the same without your friendly smile.

On the upside, it gives the rest of us 12 months of shows to actually try and make some headway with the ladiesof the biz, because without them following Mike around all the time someone else might just have a shot !!!! He he.

And mate, reply to this fucking thread - if anyone sues you, I'll cover the legals.

Stay safe and well.

Lindsay.

Mike,

All I have to say is that everything happens for a reason, this just allows you to make a bigger step in a direction that will take you further than you have gone before.
Our friendship has grown so much since we met and you know I am here for you now and always.
You are able to touch everyone you meet in such a positive light and this thread speaks for itself.
All I ask is you remember the "little" people that stuck by you thru thick and thin when you come back and blow up......lol.....I hope I will still get that guest house on your island when you do...:)

Love you much,
tinaballina
xoxoxoxoxoxo

Mike !!!
 

I can say lot of things, but I wont. The only thing I want to say is that I? am happy that I met you. Your professional view and your person ?just being Mike? has added value to my life.

So long,

Toine

tooooiiiinnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Bump for Mikey
