Comment on John Carmack's former employer claims he stole tech for Oculus VR when he leftparent

Comments

I've had employers make me sign contracts that strictly forbade moonlighting and anything I developed while employed there belonged to them. I no longer work there, and don't sign agreements like that anymore, but they exist and aren't terribly uncommon.

Companies put a lot of terms in their contracts, not all of which are legally enforceable. Check your rights as well as your contract.
