This would mean that you can then also work in a related but not competing industry at the same time. It's not a no-work afterwords contract, but don't compete with us. that won't affect your total compensation then, or your career trajectory usually either. The idea is that a non-compete should only be used for someone it will actually matter to the business the, and not all the low level employees that don't have any impact on anything like that. right now you have tech support and call center employees with year long non-competes that prevents the, from working in another similar role at a new company, https://www.protocol.com/policy/tech-non-compete https://www.protocol.com/policy/tech-non-compete
- ghaff 5y agoSo I'm a senior scientist at a pharma company. I want a new job. Cool. I can't take another pharma or biotech job but maybe I can go to coding camp and get a job mining people's data.

If they're going to do it at all, and limit cruelty in the equation as much as possible, it should be very limited to directly comparable and competing products (Windows vs MacOS; Google Search vs Bing; consumer desktop operating systems and consumer search as narrow categories), rather than the industry broadly. Most people have a narrow labor specialization and spend their work years building up expertise and reputation in an industry. Any denial of work potential and opportunity that targets an entire industry is akin to labor cruelty and should be viewed as a human rights violation.
