      I kind of feel bad for the kid. The claims in the post are total nonsense (and some are directly contradicted by the ‘evidence’). Instead of walking away with a few life lessons he has made it way worse on himself.

      It's a bit shit that HRT only offers 28 days holiday inc bank holidays in the UK (standard in UK in finance is 25 days + bank holidays i.e. 33 days) but also this blog post screams "I was and will continue to be an awful person to work with"

      Also a ton of the stuff he says about non-competes is completely wrong/made up? They are v standard in the UK, normally unpaid, but also regularly challenged and struck down by courts.

      Unpaid non-competes, it’s like a third world country!

      Ehhh it's just terminology. You have a notice period which is paid and is your real non-compete (e.g. six months is standard, and you would normally be placed on gardening leave). Most companies tag on an unpaid non-compete period after it but they are difficult to enforce.

      The reason is that UK employment law protections make it difficult for companies to dictate what an employee can do once they stop being an employee. Hence you lengthen the notice period which gives the employer more control over what they employee can do.

          Also a big protection for the employee. You need to be paid out if they want to get rid of you.

          Well, your salary needs to be paid out. Your bonus is normally kaput, maybe your deferred too (though by the time they are getting firing you, you probably weren't getting much of a bonus anyway)
