- gerash 3y agoQuite the opposite, I suspect one of the reasons FAANGs are successful is the lack of non-compete in CA. Folks can easily hop around, ask for higher wages and take their skills to a new company that directly competes with the old. There's a heavy competition among the tech companies both for talent and for their businesses
- _xerces_ 3y agoCA already makes non-competes unenforceable and aren't most FAANG employees in CA?
