Since she wasn't talking about moving, it seemed like she was opening shop in the same area her previous employer operates in and many employment contracts in her field have noncompetition clauses which preclude that for a year or more post employment. I wonder if she initially avoided that clause, got a concession on departure to not make waves; or, opened up shop outside the noncompetition radius. That occurred to me at the time; but, I figured it was none of my business.
I hope she's just busy and didn't run into any legal problems. I hope she's not exhausting her cash reserves if business is slow in picking up and getting her established.
