I am thinking of leaving my job at Microsoft to go to Amazon. I have a non-compete clause in my contract. Do companies really do anything if the employee go to work inmediately for a competitor?

It honestly depends how senior you are and if you’re actually that much of a threat. None of my friends have ever had issues but if you’re part of a sensitive team and it becomes political in some way and you’re senior enough is when I could see someone trying to make things more difficult for you.

Depending on what you are working on, you can perhaps argue they aren’t direct competitors. Going to AWS or Amazon retail?

If AWS cloud services, I’d consider you a competitor.

I am wondering if I can see what other brands say to influencers that they reject? In the program we use we either approve them or reject them. Once they are rejected they get an email saying that they are. I have tried googling a good nice way to reject an influencer but all I get is how an influencer should reject a brand. Not a brand rejecting an influencer. We don’t want to be rude & would like to keep the door open for future collabs if they meet our standards in the future.
