This seems to explicitly not include workers who are privvy to trade secrets based on a quick skim, so I guess all of us tech workers wouldn't have anything changed sadly.
- tedmiston 10y ago^ My thoughts exactly. > The Obama administration on Tuesday also urged states to ban non-compete agreements that are not proposed before a job offer or promotion is accepted and said employers should not be able to enforce the agreements when workers are laid off. It's unclear to me if the empathized part was meant to be a general statement, so that could affect tech workers.
- DominikR 10y agoA business owner could claim that trade secrets are involved in almost every sector. I've seen companies treating their (very basic) plans for Facebook ads as if it was classified information, putting a guy with a USB stick on a plane to transmit the "trade secret" from one office to another safely.
