Wow, I never would have expected that in the corporatist government.
I've heard of some being included in severance agreements, so essentially you're being let go and in order to get severance you can't work in the field you likely have the most experience for a year. It's evil.
You’ll see, this is going to blow up massively on us. The FTC is now allowing employee poaching which is what non competes were designed to stop in the first place. This is only going to benefit corporate socialism and the oligarchic regulatory structures.
employees are not cattle. be prepared to pay to keep your institutional knowledge base. even if the richest company hires away all of the best in their field, they'll still have troubles competing with a startup with B-grade talent. The startup won't have 50:1 ratio of program managers and other clipboard-grippers playing office politics and #metoo'ing your male white scientists and engineers.
This is a completely inane argument. If a company researches, creates, and produces an ip, then gooogle comes along, drops a couple million to poach 3 employees with knowledge and experience on the IP, you just lost everything, simply because morons like you don’t understand business is more than input/output and are applauding destroying non competes that only last until the product they were designing is launched. If an employee is not cattle, then a business isn’t a grazing field.
This is really the best argument for non competes tbh. That being said, it only covers some of them. My company (one of the largest in its sector in the world) had us all sign non competes last year and they were very much the "try to prevent people from leaving" kind as opposed to the "try to prevent people from being poached" kind.
I can appreciate the notion that they can prevent small startups from being able to be destroyed by a giant competitor at any time, but most non competes are not used in that manner. Perhaps some sort of an exception could be carved out for small businesses (wishful thinking I know).
