I don't understand - I thought non-competes were unenforceable in CA?

  Especially if they prevent you from making a living.

  Wasn't clear in the CA and the non-compete parts of that comment were connected. However, in any case, the reality is that for small companies, for all but the most senior and/or desired employees (and even then), a potential non-compete issue just isn't worth dealing with. Doesn't matter whether it would ultimately lose in court, you're just not prepared to go there. That's the real issue with non-competes. I've worked for a small firm and a candidate with even the most peripheral non-compete was just a non-starter.

  I've worked in NY and MA. They are very enforceable there.

  Usually a non-compete would be void if you were laid off.
