Amazon/Twitch recently bought Curse last year. In the Amazon HR orientation/on-boarding meeting in the Curse Alabama office someone bluntly asked, "Why are you forcing this unfair non-compete contract on us and not the Curse Irvine office?" After a moment of awkward silence in the meeting room the Amazon HR representative answered, "Because it's legal to enforce it here."
The Amazon non-compete contract has some very broad terminology that could be stretched in a court of law.
- bittermang 9y agoAnd it only gets worse as the conglomerate grows. Due to my own history with Amazon as a Seller Support phone monkey, I probably couldn't get employ at Twitch or Curse, despite my resume in the games industry. Let alone something completely different at Woot, or Whole Foods, or the Washington Post. And that's not even getting in to a non-compete area specifically, just general employment as it relates to a child company and the mothership.
