If there's one lesson to learn here: When you are joining a new company, review the agreement. If you see a non-compete clause for post-employment time periods, cross it out. If you don't see some verbiage that explicitly makes clear the company doesn't own anything you do on your own time and with your own equipment, add it in. If Google is hiring "A" employees, how come they aren't bright enough to add such a clause to their employment agreement?
