Idaho law lets your boss sue you if you get a better job

She had a panic attack over the threat of a lawsuit that would ruin her, until we ran it by an employment lawyer who laughed at the letter, told us it was completely and utterly unenforceable in our state, and sent the prior employer a nastygram of their own. Well worth the $150 for the relief and satisfaction, to say nothing of never having to receive a threat like that.

I know it’s always a good idea to go to a lawyer in these situations and don’t recommend not doing that, but I would have been very tempted to cut out the middleman and refer them to the reply given in the case of Arkell v. Pressdram.
