dyk discrimination is only illegal if it is based on a protected catagory, like race, gender, religion, disability etc.
dyk without that, discriminatory treatment may be unfair, but it is not illegal.

dyk for it to be illegal, the group or catagory must be a protected class
dyk so unless you can tie this treatment to Sean's membership in a protected class, it won't be illegal on that basis. In other words, if they are singling Sean out because he is Christian, or Caucasian, or male, then it would be illegal. if they are singling him out for any other reason (such as fear of his success) then it is not illegal.
dyk sorry.

dyk Sean doesn't know the how or the actual connetion but he's pretty sure the job he's working on right now in the drive way is the one that caused a problem for him at work --

dyk or rather touched a nerve with the bosses

dyk so if they were to fire him for breaching the Sean Madsen clause, would they have to prove or define "compete" and "customer" to prove it caused them harm? lol

dyk just curious -- I doubt it would ever come to that - but I can tell you the company is getting some bad press b/c of it
