Benjamin's article is bullshit. The only way to deal with crap like that is name and shame, so that the next time a prospective employee googles the company they notice that they have a habit of fucking employees.
Personally, since Fog Creek is also in nyc, I'm guessing theladders.
theladders is in nyc, indeed is in austin/bay area, simply hired is bay area, I'm not sure where dice and monster are
- mhp 15y agoNo, they are in Maryland. I don't care about naming the company. I care about putting the kid in a bad position.
- earl 15y agoSaid kid is already screwed. You now have a choice: either the next time a prospective employee or intern googles the offending company your blog comes up as a warning, or it doesn't. Which do you think will be more effective preventing behavior like this in the future? Imagine this post title: "X screwed an intern out of an awesome internship at fog creek" rather than a vague warning to interns not to sign noncompetes.
- droithomme 15y agoIt's not the specific company that is the problem. It's not like they are the only ones doing this. The problem is the practice in general. Not signing noncompetes isn't a vague warning, it's very specific. I would extend it from interns to everyone other than senior sales staff.

- gecko 15y agoIt's not theladders. It's in Maryland, not New York.
