'You need me more than I need you...': Undervalued employee refuses to back down after company goes after him for quitting, despite earning them $1.5 million

People will stop at nothing to climb the corporate ladder and achieve success in the competitive field of business. Having said that, how would you react if an individual in a position of power attempted to coerce you into following their instructions? Would you let your fear overcome you, or would you outsmart their sly tactics and advance toward your goal?

The story below is an account of a hard-working individual. The Original Poster (OP) has spent a considerable amount of time employed by the same company. In addition to being immensely successful in his field, he made the company a fortune. However, the once sympathetic and appreciative management tried to sue him for supposedly breaching their non-compete agreement when he made the decision to move on and seek opportunities elsewhere.

That being said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what happened and whether or not OP made it out unscathed!
