My understanding is that if non-compete clauses are unreasonable then they they are generally unenforceable. As in if they put undue hardship on you finding employment elsewhere. It seems the exception is usually up at the senior leadership and C-level where strategic intelligence comes in to play. (joe/jane-coder not so much.)
- CognitiveLens 11y agoUnfortunately "unreasonable" is something that generally requires a court to define. That's a big burden for a worker to bear even in the most justified cases.

- colanderman 11y agoBut "unreasonable" varies by jurisdiction, and as the (blatantly) pro-noncompete author of the blog post notes, Hawaii has previously legally found even three-year noncompetes not unreasonable.
