What do you do, hotshot? What do you do?
You have a manager, pretty much in name only, bound by a handshake agreement between the two of you. In eleven months of representation, he has failed to get you a single assignment or in any way, shape or form advance your career.
You're planning on extricating yourself from him ASAP, but you haven't formally done so.
Through your own initiative you pitch an idea and lo and behold get the nod for the assignment. Nothing has been signed yet between you and the Prodco, but this is as good as a done deal.
What are your options here:
Do you fire your manager post haste-prior to consummating this deal--to avoid forking over that ten percent?
Or are you legally obligated to pay him his percentage because the deal was initiated during the manager's tenure on your team?
