Gentleman's Agreement with other company

[bloke_tm]

---

I'm no expert, but from what I understand, a gentleman's agreement between and among companies has no legal teeth. It's an informal agreement to something. This is quite common among BPOs and call centers and is disadvantageous to job hoppers. Even though you may have the qualifications, one company might refuse to hire you because of a standing gentleman's agreement with your present and soon-to-be "ex" employer.

More than that, some companies would even insist that you not engage in the same type of work for 2 years (sounds familiar). This is one of the ways that companies would protect themselves from pirating each other's employees.

If this is against labor code then pwede man siguro na sila maReport but dapat pud naa jud evidence like a written agreement na maka-prove naa jud sila agreement with other company. That's if against jud ni sa labor code.

If the company needs talented/skilled individuals then they shouldn't go for that agreement in the first place, especially if the said competitor company is way less too attractive compared to them.

Employers should accept the fact that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. The notion of piracy among employees is just an alibi.

If companies would agree to this thinking, all small IT companies would either (1) go out of business or (2) lose the more talented professionals to bigger companies.

Then if that's the case, the least talented/skilled in bigger companies would either (1) lose a job - since there are more skilled ones being pirated easily or (2) work for smaller companies with possible smaller wages.

Think about it. If companies can pirate employees easily, what would stop the bigger ones from doing so?

The agreement (if such exists between companies) acts like a safeguard for situations not everyone can think of
