Amazon fails to stop ex-sales staffer winging it to Google Cloud

  In Belgium the (ex-)employee needs to be compensated for limiting the employment options. IMO same should apply here. The person is restricted in their employment. AWS/Amazon should pay to keep it restricted.

    I agree with you, but others often argue that the previous total compensation is what that's for. Said person just haven't worked there long enough to break even should they choose to move to another company in the same industry.

      This sounds like slavery or indentured servitude, not a free market.

        Many AGs in the United States agree and have taken major steps to put into law or set strong precedent that non-competes are exclusive to senior leadership and always come with explicit compensation packages. See NY, CA, MA

  Slightly off topic - Anyone else find the register's headlines terrible?

    Actually I am always amused by their take on matters especially their headlines.

    For readers not familiar with "El-Reg" (based in the UK), they tend to have a somewhat irreverent attitude to reporting goings-on in the IT industry. It's their house style and has been since the beginning. It's a style that emulates, somewhat, British "Red Top" tabloids. You either love it or hate it (or maybe don't get it), personally I've been a fan and reader since they started back in the 90's.
