What does the employer mean by relationship/non-competition clauses?

Questioner

The contract includes a relationship and non-competition clause. These are quite incomprehensible due to the spelling. A hostile working atmosphere has developed and now switching to another employer in the same sector seems logical but impossible. Can you help unravel the texts?

Lawyer

A relationship/competition clause must always be agreed in writing and is often written as clearly and concretely as possible, because in the event of any ambiguity, a decision is usually made in favour of the employee. Nor may such a clause be included in all contracts (in principle not in temporary contracts), unless there is a specific reason. For example, business interests. The non-competition clause may not go further than necessary, or make it completely impossible to find work. Much will depend on the circumstances of the case.
