Today I found from internet that Paul Twohig of Hilton Head, S.C., a former Starbucks Coffee U.S. senior vice president who jumped ship to work for Dunkin' Donuts, has agreed to pay $500,000 to settle a lawsuit that accused him of violating a non-competition agreement, according a written statement issued late Tuesday by Stacey Krum, a spokeswoman for Starbucks.  In many countries' laws and labor contract between employee and employer, we can find the non-competition term.  After termination if an employee want to work for a competitor, he/she should report to their former employer and get the approval.  If they don't do that, they will lose money.  So, maybe we are all employees.  We should read carefully before signing labor contracts and don't forget the term after termination.

This is my first day on TPM.  It is very interesting.  Maybe I can share something in the future.  What a day!
