Then go consult an actual attorney.

I want to be clear that I'm not asking legal advice. I would never make a decision based solely on advice from friends.. but your opinions matter. Many of you have been in the same situation, so aside from the "ask a lawyer" suggestion I knew I'd get, I'd love to hear from people who have been in this situation. :)

Perhaps you are not asking for legal advice... but I think the point is that you should be... if want assurance that the answer you receive is correct.

You will hear from people who have been in this sort of situation, but not the same situation. For example, their employment contracts likely differ from yours.
