Here's an honest question. Knowing that non-competes are bogus and unenforceable in California - why do most employers (including mine) feel the need to tack them onto offer letters?
Is it a matter of intimidation?
- jedberg 11y agoPretty much. They are hoping you don't know the law. They are also hoping that by encumbering you with one that a future poacher would know that they might have to spend money on lawyers to fight for you in case you get sued, even though they know you will win.
- sparky_ 11y agoIs this to imply that non-poaching agreements (e.g., "Great, you quit, don't talk to my employees") are equally void?
- acjacobson 11y agoWhile IANAL, yes, non-solicitation clauses are also not enforceable in California.
