The case for longer notice period

Recently, a senior executive at an energy company in charge of acquiring projects joined a rival company. His former employer is known to put out lower- than-market bids to acquire new projects. Guess what? The company this executive joined has snagged power projects with the lowest bid, from right under the nose of sector majors as well as government-owned giants. Now you know why many corporations in the services sector are enforcing long notice periods on their employees these days.
