Non-competes, like so many other workplace rules, only apply below the C-suite

  I think the reverse is true. If you're a grunt no one really cares and it's not worth it to enforce. If you're c suite and leave to start a competitor you can be sure you'll be hearing from company lawyers. Similarly mandatory gardening leave generally grows with your title

    > I think the reverse is true. If you're a grunt no one really cares and it's not worth it to enforce. As a grunt who was handcuffed for three months after switching jobs while my former employer and my new employer tried to sort out what I was and wasn't allowed to do... no, this is not true. And the document I ended up having to sign means I can't say anything other than Amazon (former employer), Microsoft (new employer), and myself came to a mutual agreement.

    The CSuite walks in with a golden parachute. No SWE job automatically vests a ton of options when you're fired by the company.
