Reading: I started a new job 12 days ago and signed my offer letter. The company took a copy. Now, I have another, even better opportunity. But I’m worried because my offer letter says I have to work for them for at least 2 years. It also mentions that they can let me go without notice during my training period. The HR person hinted that they could either help me or make things difficult. I’m scared of losing this new offer. What should I do?

Your offer letter likely contains a valid restraint of trade clause. You need to carefully assess your obligations, including the training period clause, and discuss the situation openly with your current employer and potential new employer. You should seek legal advice to understand the specific implications and potential consequences of breaching your contract.
