Contracted job stealing?

Question

If our company has a signed contract to install plumbing for a contractor, and our previous plumbing manager who did the bid work on this job has been fired, does he have the right to be out at the job site badmouthing our company and telling the contractor we are going under,which is a obvious sign of desperate measures because the owner is the same as before and our company is the same excepthis spineless idiot. Is it tresspassing or what kind of laws do we have to stand on, if the contractor breaks our contract and goes with this fly by nite special?

Answer 1

Kyle,

Your company has a signed contract and as such the former manager badmouthing your company has no affect on the completion of the contract. In order to break the contract the contractor would have to prove that your company was unable to complete the contract. Otherwise your company would have legal recourse for a breach of contract.

I wouldn't worry about the jerk. I think most people are smart enough to see through what he is attempting to do and therefore probably have a low opinion of him.

Answer 2

depends what his employment contract with you said.  If you had no contract he can do pretty much anything.

If the contract with the other company is broke,  you can sue in court for damages.

You complain about him bad mouthing you,  and here you are doing the same thing on here about him .  lololol
