I'm in this pickle right now. It's a scare tactic. New employer would not take a bet, and that's understandable. Current employer responds with the most vague legalese possible to my straight up question "are you going to enforce?". The choices are: a) take a gamble against an entity that has so much more to fund their legal team than I will ever dream of or b) suck it up. Take a guess what most people pick, even if "most likely outcome" of enforcing non-compete is very slim. It's in UK btw.
