They actually legally couldn't? Or they merely believed they couldn't? Big difference.

- ghaff 8y agoI've been told that they had taken people to court and won. And, if it gets to the point that you're going to have to hire an expensive lawyer to fight a big company with uncertain prospects, I think I'd just take a year off at that point (or take a job that wouldn't be subject to the non-compete). ADDED: Although I actually agree that, for the most part, the harm of non-competes is in the chilling effects for both workers and potential employers because no one wants the uncertainty and risk. And there are enough lawsuits in many locales to give credibility to non-compete enforceability.
