The company I used to work for bullied most of the employees into signing a 5 year non-competes. And that was after they'd already been in business for 5 years.

The company I used to work for bullied most of the employees into signing a 5 year non-competes. And that was after they'd already been in business for 5 years. My department collectively said no, but it was a huge showdown, and they immediately started trying to figure out how to make the company less reliant on us. Every other person in the company except for us signed it.
The lawyer we consulted said it was the most draconian thing he'd ever seen and that we should all quit on the spot.
- ryandrake 11y agoTotally ridiculous. If you want me to non-compete for 5 years, you better compensate me full salary for those 5 years that I spend sitting around not working for your competition.
