> There’s no rational economic reason to force your janitors into non-competes I would argue there's a rational economic reason (reducing competition for the labour pool so you can pay them less) but not a morally acceptable nor even free-market-compatible reason. It's major abuse, and it makes me furious that we're using Cushman & Wakefield for our property management. We need to make employment contracts non-severable so that employers can't get away with this shit. Oh, you want to put in a probably non-enforceable or illegal clause into your contract? Well then the entire thing goes down the toilet when it's found to be invalid. Otherwise employers will keep putting blanket stuff in that they know will probably fail in court to chill their employees.
