My ex-boss is threatening legal action for financial losses after I left my job. I finished one project right after quitting, and handed over the other two with manager approval. Now, he’s saying I caused them money because I didn’t stay my full notice period. He’s angry because he thinks I joined a client of his, but that’s not true. What can I do? He’s trying to sue me, but he doesn’t have grounds for a non-compete violation.

You should consult a lawyer to assess the validity of your ex-boss’s claims. While he might be unhappy about your departure, his claim for financial losses likely hinges on a contractual breach, which needs to be evaluated based on your employment agreement and notice period specifics. Additionally, his allegation of joining a client is irrelevant without proof and unlikely to hold legal weight if you haven’t violated any non-compete clauses.
