counterpoint: "I signed an NDA" is an easy cop out if I don't remember or don't feel like talking about what went on at previous jobs in job interviews
I always thought non-compete agreements were so bizarre. like why would a company get to have any say where I can work after I stop working for them lol. Same vibes as an HOA telling you what color you're allowed to paint your house or how long your grass can be
And companies kept using them anyway, because how many employees know it's unenforceable, or would be able to fight a much larger company trying to enforce it?
Yeah...the wording of 'nearly all' non competes being voided worries me as well. I wonder if we'll just see corporations weasel a way around this to keep using them
I was thinking less along the lines of being outright nullified by definition, and more them not passing the basic tests, but that's good to know. Looks like a lot of other states also already had conditions outlining their use (at the bottom of that link)
I actually can't do this, I forgot I have a non-solication agreement with my former employer for 2 years (meaning I can't poach clients) versus on non-compete (meaning I can't go to a competitor)
The only way capitalism can work in any feasible way is if capitalists are doing all the competing, something capitalists promise they're all about but they historically will do anything to avoid competing as much as possible.
