Non-compete clauses were used as trapdoors to legally harass and intimidate employees. And in the vast majority of cases, they were totally inappropriate. And if your work was so sensitive and critical to the company, you probably were not compensated at a commensurate level if your job was so important to justify a non-compete clause.

[LivingOrganismFromMarsAndVenus]

They should also ban positing ghost jobs, ban entry levels asking for years of experience, ban junior roles jobs with senior job description, they also should audit every job posting and the company should be required to send a report of who and how quickly and with that salary was hired for every job posting that the company published. There should be monitoring organs created in every country to control jobs posting -hiring.

[LittleMissRockChalk]

The bare minimum is that non-compete clauses should be illegal when someone is fired or laid off. It’s the professional equivalent of “I’m breaking up with you, but I don’t want you to date anyone else.”

[kjoshua]

Never obeyed a non-compete clause. You want to hold me hostage, you'll be paying me while I wait.

[badbrain]

Great news! Non competes are grossly unfair.

[fizzy]

It's fun how they don't mention the fact that people who need to leave jobs, don't just do it because of money gains...
Some of us do it because the companies were crappy, shady, and terrible, and we want to try and go to another company that hopefully won't suck as much, follow our morals, values, and ethics, and be treated like a human being.

[Gnomezonbacon]

non-compete clauses are by their very nature, anti-capitalistic. Competition matters and is good. Only a weakling fears competition of others. It is anti-free market. If you're locked in and can't start your own company, you're not free to act in the market.

[thebtm]

It's called an NDA... Non-compete is a sham when an NDA could protect a companies proprietary information.

[kaiseriv]

Now we need to ban asking for your previous salaries.

[realJimMarshall]

I had to sign a "non compete" clause. They told me its was so i didnt take trade secrets to their competitors. I asked if i was also going to sign an NDA as well and they said no. Thats when i knew the "non compete" was there just to stop me from leaving for a similar job with higher pay.

[freespaceace]

The sad truth is companies would rather spend billions on lawyers fighting employees and using intimidation / fear tactics via these Non-Competes than incentivize their employees to stay.

[leen]

Hope this isn't struck down by the Supreme Court, non-competes are horrible.

[derekwallace]

This is definitely a positive thing. I have had to sign noncompetes on several occasions and it just doesn’t seem right in an “at will” state. The company has all the leverage.

[n.m.]

It is my god-given right as a tax paying citizen to decide where I want to work. I have the freedom and authority to choose and not some employer.

[moons_mind]

I just left a consulting company where a non-compete clause was probably costing me at least another $10k - $20k because the client wanted to FTE me at the end. I can't see a reason why this would ever benefit anyone but the company to keep paying low wages

[petertaylor]

Many years ago, one job had a non compete clause for us. We were janitors.

[DiegoMonroyF]

Non-competes are anti-free markets by nature. As Milton Friedman would say: “I’m not pro business, I’m pro markets.” These only help businesses in the sense of not having to worry about giving employees a fair treatment given that it limits their ability to freely choose for whom to work for. They should be completely illegal.

[burritogod]

I have a non-compete that prevents me from going to a competitor, anyone my company buys from, and anyone my company sells to. It basically traps you at the company unless you want to leave the industry all together.

[saladboy]

I had to sign a non-compete form when I got a part time job at Subway making sandwiches when I was 16

[Websitedr]

Glad this is changing because years ago we lost a candidate because previous employer was not releasing them since the industry was the same. If they lay off someone and competition takes them that's just how it works.
