Lyes I believe so
Hey, thanks for sharing this. Since you believe there was an agreement, it's important to review the terms. Were there any specific clauses about side sales or installations in your contract? If you can recall any details, that could help clarify your obligations.
If so, and the company took action would it be criminal action or civil?
In your situation, it would likely be a civil matter rather than a criminal one. Here's why:
- Civil Action: Typically involves disputes about contracts or agreements. If your former employer believes you violated a contract, they may seek damages or repayment through a civil lawsuit.
- Criminal Action: Involves offenses against the state, like theft or fraud. Selling products on the side, unless it involved illegal activity, generally wouldn't be criminal.
If you want to clarify more about your agreement, consider reviewing the contract or seeking legal advice.
