NCs are hard, and to Corey's point it's not like an employee can leave and go to any industry while fully utilizing their skillset. I'm sure Brian could go into something completely not related and do well, but would still not do as well as he could if he had stayed in the same field. Agree mostly with Corey on this one (trust me, agreements are rare), but as always he ends the post with

Twitter is a cesspool where the Twitter mob will attack any well-meaning and well-intentioned argument and is the last place anyone should use for any meaningful discourse of any kind. Twitter has been around for how many years? What problems has it really solved other than giving morons a platform to announce their superiority.

Amazon is also involved in quite a few industries now via both AWS and their storefront, that I imagine the company wide NC would have _quite_ a bit of coverage.
