Definition
State in which an employed engineer has the legal and ethical freedom to move from one engineering position to another in the absence of a written agreement or other formal restriction — mirroring the employer's corresponding right to discontinue the engineer's services at will. This state reflects the baseline condition of professional employment in a free market, where both parties retain mobility rights, and establishes the default ethical framework against which post-employment competitive conduct is evaluated.
