> I'm in a right to work state though and that means that noncompetes don't hold up [...] In a right to work state nobody can prevent you from earning a living Generally speaking, so-called right-to-work laws are about preventing an employer from requiring that all employees join a union. Maybe some of those laws are worded broadly enough to also cover non-compete contracts, but I've never seen any real indication of that being the case.
