- WalterBright 6y agoNon-competes are for high value jobs. They're not starving.
- nobodyandproud 6y agoNon-competes are applied to fresh graduates on a regular basis, so that’s straight-out misinformation.
- WalterBright 6y agoFresh graduates often go into high paying jobs.
- nobodyandproud 6y agoAnd also low paying. Those also get non-competes, because there are no downsides to forcing someone to sign. It’s unethical.
- WalterBright 6y agoThey can also use google to answer questions about non-competes, which cost nothing. They can go to amazon and search for books "Employment Contracts" and get plenty of information. Their local public library would also be happy to help, for free. The notion that a college graduate is a poor thing that can't discover basic information for free is ridiculous. > It’s unethical. Again, your ethics are about you, not somebody else.
