That's where I'd push back. If Subway is willing to pay someone $100k to not make sandwiches at a competitor, why stop them?

- paxys 4y agoBecause the person should still have a choice as to whether they want to accept the $100k or not.
- mindvirus 4y agoIn this hypothetical, they'd also have the choice not to work at Subway in the first place. But realistically, very few companies (especially fast food restaurants) would want a non-compete if they had to pay for it. My broader point is that if we say that there may be places that a non compete makes sense, we can both allow that and give workers protections - especially workers with the least leverage to negotiate.
