Just stop

You weren't under contract though.

And that is exactly the point of the suit. Chavis and A&M says he wasn't, LSU says he was. A judge will determine who is right.

he took another job. People do it every day. And when you do, you are entitled to your vacation and you continue to get paid through your vacation days. I've double dipped twice in my life exactly like this. It's not at all uncommon. And there are no repercussions to it other than when your previous employer turns all bitter BSC because you left

Exactly.

I don't think these Louisiana frickwits have jobs.

Anyone who has been employed in a legitimate professional capacity knows
1) People change jobs constantly. It's not petsonal.
2) When you do, you get to take your accrued vacation and are still paid until it is up, OR they will just let you go immediately, pay you for two more weeks as if you were still coming to work and then cash you out your vacation days.

I've done it several times. That's the way it works.

There is a huge difference between a contract employee and an at-will employee.

It's hilarious how uninformed LSU fans are about the actual situation.

Let me clue you in cupcake. Chavis sued LSU and Texas A&M. He wants the courts to figure out if anything is actually owed. Of course we will pay it. A&M is saying that we don't owe the buyout. LSU is saying that Chavis does. Now, because Chavis's lawyers filed suit before LSU could get their shite together, LSU is pissed because it is not in an LSU friendly jurisdiction, so they file federally.

Get your head out of your arse an actually read something other than a fan blog and you might learn something jizztrap.

What's even more hilarious is the people who clearly have zero legal education spouting off nonsense as if they do.

The lawsuit at issue is the one Chavis filed in Texas state court. LSU is asserting that Texas does not have jurisdiction over the suit because it the subject matter of the lawsuit is a contract that was entered into in Louisiana. That issue has not been decided by the courts as of yet. Nonetheless, LSU as an out of state diverse defendant has removed the lawsuit to Federal Court, as is their option to do. The reasoning is to get the case out what would likely be a plaintiff's friendly venue. I would almost guarantee that A&M would to the exact same thing as a diverse defendant in Louisiana.

We're not talking about a guy walking away from a 50k job to accept a 60k job down the street.

Contract. Contract. Contract.

There, said it 3 times. Maybe that will get it in your heads.

Exactly. LSU is not the plaintiff. They are trying to move Chavis's suit to federal court. But don't let facts get in the way.

He was making a pre-emptive strike. Didn't want to wait until 3rd down.

lol

How cheap and/or trashy does A&M look that it all comes down to this in the first place? If I'm Chavis, I am insulted big time.
