Interesting. My current non-compete mentions 50% of my salary at date of termination for a year, and I'm pretty sure my previous non-competes had similar provision. Maybe I only worked with mostly "ethical" companies.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoThat sounds incredibly shitty, though. You have to take a 50% pay cut and not be able to advance in your chosen field? Most people I know would struggle quite a bit with such a huge pay cut.
- dudul 8y agoOh don't hear me wrong, it is not a good deal at all. But at least it has a cost for the company if they decide to activate it. Not enough for me to make a living, but most likely enough for them to take a step back and think "does what this guy can do really justify the cost?".
- ghaff 8y agoIt wouldn't be great for a lot of people. I expect some here look at it and think "Ooh. I get paid 50% of my generous tech salary to work on my side project/travel the world for a year. Where do I sign up?" But the reality for many people is that they'd be taking a big pay cut to sit on the sidelines for a year which could be damaging both financially and professionally.
