So I am stoned on a Thursday morning as I do sometimes and this memory pops in about my former boss and what he told me on the first day of meeting him. Picture the scene. I'm meeting a new boss. I've been there and hired from the previous boss. I want to make a good impression on the new boss because it's very important to not only get extra perks but to me I really don't want a hostile work environment. I also expect him to want to impress us. The job is parking enforcement for the city of Salem circa 2015. The first thing he says to me, and he is former Washington national guard drill sergeant, is you remind me of one of my platoon mates (idk, soldiers, I don't remember the phrase used) and I can't stand your face because you look just like this insubordinate…

They told me that it wasn’t personal at all and that they were deeply sorry and wish they didn’t have to, and then gave me my last check and a guide on how to apply for unemployment.

Restrictions to leave job
As I’m currently looking at options of leaving current job and going self-employed I’ve looked at my current contract and some of the clauses in there. One states I can’t deal with the same suppliers whom I currently deal with (they are generic suppliers and provider services to everyone and aren’t affiliated just with my current company) which effectively is saying I can’t do my job if I went solo.
