A company (company b) found me on LinkedIn and sent me a job position and asked if I wanted to apply or if I knew of someone who did. I looked into it, got the interview and an hour later got a call with the offer. I informed my boss and my two supervisors. The last supervisor is seemingly upset that another company asked me to apply when I told her I was leaving. I have a 6 month commitment with the company which ends before my “three weeks” left are up.



My question: Can company A get upset and take legal action against me or Company B??

          Confectionery

          Image
          Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates.
