Respected members,
Presently, I am working in the sales department of my company. At the time of joining, I filled out a service contract, which includes a clause of a bond to work for a minimum of 2 years for the company. As part of this agreement, a portion of my salary is deducted each month, which will be refunded to me after the completion of 2 years of service.
Now that my 2 years of employment are completed, I am looking to make a job change to a competitor's company. However, I have recently discovered that the service contract also includes a clause stating that I cannot directly or indirectly join any of the competitor's companies for 2 years from the date of leaving my current company.
I think this is very unfair and restrictive. I request all of you to provide me with some guidance on this matter regarding whether I can change my job or not.
Awaiting your valuable suggestions.
