Is working for Company (B) – which is a client of Company (A), with whom I had a contract that stipulated not working with its clients – considered a breach of the contract's terms, a sin, and a transgression, given that no harm has befallen Company (A), and that Company (A) did not fulfill some of the contract's terms with me, such as health and social insurance?
