   Ep 3. Breaking the Chains- Understanding Restrictions and Restraint of Trade.

   Let’s Talk: Restraints of Trade in Employment Have you ever signed a contract that limited where or how you could work after leaving a job? That’s what’s known as a restraint of trade — a clause often tucked into employment agreements, aiming to protect a business’s interests. But where’s the line between fair protection and restricting someone’s right to earn a living? In this episode, we explore the realities of post-employment restraints, especially in the telecom and fibre industries, where niche expertise and tight-knit networks make this a hot topic. From non-compete and non-solicitation clauses to how enforceable they really are — we’re pulling back the curtain. I want your take. Have you been held back by one? Fought it? Ignored it? Whether you’re an employer, contractor, or field tech, I’d love to hear your experiences and thoughts. 📩 Drop your feedback or confession — anonymously if you like — via the contact form or email OpticEdgePodcast@gmail.com (mailto:OpticEdgePodcast@gmail.com). Let’s open up the conversation and explore how these clauses affect real people in real careers.
