You're misreading the agreement (unless it's changed significantly very recently). Like any non-compete I've ever seen/signed, it only applies to products/services that:
> Employee worked on or supported, or about which Employee obtained or received Confidential Information.
Totally fair if you don't want to enter that agreement, but the language is pretty standard.
- greyface- 5y agoAmazon can simply argue that all engineers receive Confidential Information about products/services that they did not work on, but were aware of due to company memos, access to internal documentation, etc.

- pcaharrier 5y agoWithout seeing the clause verbatim, I also suspect there is a misreading going on here. Having dealt with noncompete clauses in a previous job, writing one like what the OP suggests is one of the surest ways to get a judge to find that the clause is unenforceable.
