“Charlotte”, a 17-year-old casual dance teacher, quit her job after being harassed at work. But she was about to experience a different kind of harassment from beyond the employment grave.
When she landed a job at a different dance studio months later, she received a warning letter from her former employer saying she had breached a restraint of trade clause in her previous contract. That meant she wasn’t supposed to work for a competing business for three years within a 15-kilometre exclusion zone of their multiple studios.
