My last company's noncompete had a really nice twist: Instead of banning me from seeking employment at a competitor altogether, it instead granted my employer the right, to, at their discretion, compel me to delay starting at a competitor for a certain amount of time. However, in order to do so they would also have to pay my salary over that period.
