As a retiree, being there 32 years, I understand your rage. You ( and everyone) deserve better treatment and respect than you will ever get there. Please do something for your family, future and self and get out of there. Persist in a job search, check local papers, websites, contacts. At 70 years old I have applied to and turned down several job offers. I was just testing the waters to see what might happen. I was pleasantly surprised, and think you would be too. All you need is a willingness to do better, and to accept one of the many full-time jobs available, if only until a better one comes along. As I said, if you are willing to accept maybe a different line of work if offered you can better yourself. Don't have the negative attitude of "I don't want to do that". This is a problem a lot of people have when they are offered a job they perceive as "below them". Good Luck!

Wise words, I thank you. I handed in my resignation this week after realizing I could do better. I have a new offer that I didn't think was possible!

I am happy to hear that you are on the path to a better life. Hope my words did help give you confidence to leave that hell-hole. Only wish more of the others would follow suit.

And this should be a lesson to anyone still there:

Get the fuck out while you can, and on your own terms. They continue to make signing very broad noncompetes requirements to get the severance. And the noncompetes cover anywhere you might want to work. It's evil, and they really screw over even low level employees. It goes to show how nasty and spiteful they are. They force people to choose between 4 months of salary when they need it the most, and any sort of reasonable job.

If you leave of your own accord, then there's no noncompete. Anyone who stays is putting their own family and future at risk. You've been warned.

I agree they're pric*s, but I would ignore the" non compete" language. It's questionable that it's enforceable and i doubt they would even bother to contest it. If they did, I'd appeal to the Mass Labor Board. Trust me, they'd get their ass kicked and they know it. You'd walk out with more $ than was offered in the original severance. And that's the bottom line why these greedy bastards won't come after you.
 






What ever happened to the LMI's rising star, flurpiridaz F 18? 10+ years and still nothing to show for it...apparently they can't even pawn it off on somebody for a few measly bucks.

That's terrible advice and completely incorrect.

First, noncompetes are completely legal and allowable in MA. As a result, calling the labor board will have no effect. It is a sophomoric fantasy to think you will get them in trouble with the authorities.

You are right that the courts will generally not enforce noncompetes. Tantamount to slavery. However, all that means is that IF Lantheus were to seek redress in court the courts would not find in their favor. It doesn't magically send Dan to jail.

Finally, you need to understand how these things work in practice. When you apply for a new job, you will be asked whether you have any impediments to working for the new company, including any legal agreements which would preclude you from taking the job. At that point, you can either tell the truth or lie. If you tell the truth, the new employer will never tell you why you didn't get the job, but they will look elsewhere. If you lie, then you have lied on the application, which is universally grounds for termination. And I know of at least two cases where Lantheus called prospective employers to make sure they knew someone had a noncompete.

Get a lawyer that's an even bigger pric* than LMI and sue their ass. You're right that a court-Judge would never find in LMI's favor and a jury would potentially award a significant penalty for squeezing people out of the job market after tossing them aside. By the way the Mass Labor Board does have the ability to award back pay, severance and penalty payments. This isn't about sending "Dan" to jail, it's about standing up for yourself and stop allowing LMI to screw you.

Seriously? Sue them for what, exactly? Noncompetes are legal. The labor board can't award for behavior that isn't illegal, no matter how distateful. And, without promise of a big payout, and emolument lawyer is going to want a $5000 or more up-front retainer. Which you're going to lose because they haven't broken the law.

Forget the revenge fantasies. Just get out under your own tems

1. Get a lawyer that will take your case based on a % of the award.

2. You can help by identifying the names of the employers you say LMI contacted and let them know of the existence of non competes, which is illegal.

3. Stop advising people to lie down and take it.

4. Judges, Juries and Labor Boards can and do make judgement calls. When a party uses a so called legal means in a manner which amounts to malfeasance would be such a case.

5. Not everything is about a big payout or revenge. There are times when you just have to stand up for yourself.

6. Bullies back down when confronted, especially if there's a chance they'll be embarrassed.

I am sorry, but you are completely incorrect. But hey, if you want to wait for the layoff, when they offer you a noncompete as a condition to receiving the severance, and then sue them, go nuts. I think you'll find the results less than satisfying, but you clearly won't believe me.

So I don't advise people to lie down and take it. I advise them to find a better job at a better company so that they don't have to deal with Lantheus at all. And they can take comfort in the fact that turnover costs money.
 






You should not sign a severance agreement until you have had a chance to thoroughly consider the terms and considered whether to consult with an employment attorney to discuss the terms and ramifications. If you are OVER FORTY you must be given at least twenty-one days (and in some cases up to forty-five days) to consider the agreement and advised to consult with an attorney. Without These Terms In The Agreement, Any Included Waiver Of Rights Or Claims May Be Unenforceable.
