Honestly didn't know how badly non-competes are abused these days.

Sadly unsurprised though.

@Tallish_Tom @pluralistic I don't know about the US, but in the UK my contract lawyer has always advised me that these clauses are pretty hard to enforce. It's better not to have them, but they are not a deal breaker if they are present. Often they can be thrown out for falling foul of ‘restraint of trade’; for them to be valid the clause needs to be designed to protect legitimate business interests and be no wider than “reasonably” necessary (there’s that bloke on the Clapham Omnibus again!)

@thirstybear @pluralistic

Probably true, but if you work in a burger place and youre family is a pay day loan away from homelessness are really gonna take their $10,000 a day lawyer team to court when they threaten to make an example of you?

@Tallish_Tom @pluralistic That is dangerously close to conceding that you only get justice if you can afford it, but a reasonable point nonetheless.
