My employer is about to go bankrupt or have their bank accounts siezed. Is it ethical…..?
I am a construction estimator. I have about 10 large jobs over $100,000 that have not started. When they go bankrupt and can not do these projects or pay my salary, can I approach one of our competitors and offer my services with these large jobs.
Is it legal and ethical?
I do not want to burn any bridges.
Depends.
Going bankrupt is re building the company and take more time to creditors to get paid. Including salaries.
Unless you under a contract for the jobs the are outstanding. You may approach and consult your competitors. I do recommend to wait until the company files for chapter 13
